[DRE-maint] Bug#685239: ruby-pkg-config: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/pkg-config.rb:91:in `search_pkg_config_by_dln_find_exe': undefined method `size' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

[shawn]

Package: ruby-pkg-config
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

I converted my ruby binding to use ruby-pkg-config, because I take it that
when ruby is converted to multi-arch, ruby-pkg-config might bring multi-arch
cross-building support, which pkg-config-cross is currently broken, and requires
calling by FQN. This problem didn't happen on a full Precise system, only a cowbuilder
debian sid chroot.

It also appears to be fixed upstream
