[DRE-maint] Bug#645139: redmine: fails to install also in testing; downgrade to previous version 1.1.3-4 also fails

[Jörg-Volker Peetz]

Package: redmine
Version: 1.2.1+dfsg2-2


Dear maintainer,

redmine 1.2.1+dfsg2-2 entered testing and also fails to install here. Even a
downgrade to the previous version of redmine fails with the same symptoms:

# dpkg -r redmine-sqlite redmine
# dpkg -i redmine_1.1.3-4_all.deb redmine-sqlite_1.1.3-4_all.deb
...
Missing these required gems:
  rubytree  >= 0

You're running:
  ruby 1.8.7.352 at /usr/bin/ruby1.8
  rubygems 1.8.10 at /var/lib/gems/1.8, /root/.gem/ruby/1.8

Run `rake gems:install` to install the missing gems.
Error when running rake db:migrate, check database configuration.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/redmine.postinst: 271: exit: Illegal number: -1
dpkg: error processing redmine (--install):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 redmine


Also, the recommended

# (cd /usr/share/redmine; rake gems:install)

doesn't repair the system.

Best regards,
Jörg-Volker.
