[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#678072: puppet-lint: fails to run

[John Eikenberry]

Package: puppet-lint
Version: 0.1.13-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***


$ puppet-lint
Unable to require puppet.  Please gem install puppet and try again.

Running puppet-lint fails every time, with or without any arguments.  This
coincided with a recent change of ruby to default to 1.9.1 instead of 1.8. The
puppet-common package, which puppet-lint depends on, doesn't include support
for 1.9.1.

You can get this working by changing the default ruby back to 1.8 using
update-alternatives. Though this seems like it will break other software
eventually.
