[Pkg-puppet-devel] ruby dependency/conflict error

[KissT]

Hi Puppet / Facter Maintainer(s),

I just run into an error which in my opinion package conflict, on the 
dependency list there is a ruby with version 1.8 which is supported by 
the puppet, but in case the 1.9 version installed on the system it's run 
into errors.

Due to I'm not native English, I will explain it with some paste.

kisst at host:~# puppet -V && facter -v && dpkg -l | grep -E "^ii\ \ 
ruby[0-9]\.[0-9]" && facter | grep lsbdistdescription
2.7.23
1.6.10
ii  ruby1.8                            1.8.7.358-7.1+deb7u1 
amd64        Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby 1.8
ii  ruby1.9.1                          1.9.3.194-8.1+deb7u2 
amd64        Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': iconv 
will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.
lsbdistdescription => Debian GNU/Linux 7.3 (wheezy)

After remove the ruby1.9

kisst at host:~$ puppet -V && facter -v && dpkg -l | grep -E "^ii\ \ 
ruby[0-9]\.[0-9]" && facter | grep lsbdistdescription
2.7.23
1.6.10
ii  ruby1.8                            1.8.7.358-7.1+deb7u1 
amd64        Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby 1.8
lsbdistdescription => Debian GNU/Linux 7.3 (wheezy)

The error on the first is what's telling me there is something wrong. So 
I made my research searching for this.

"/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': iconv 
will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead."

There is one ticket related to this in the puppet tracking system.

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20587

Following the respond link it's clear that this two version is incompatible.

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/platforms.html#ruby-versions

Which could mean that there is more errors, in the app, this is just a 
warning, but there could be critical errors as well.

Not sure how this could be handled nicely but so action required is clear.

Thanks

KissT
