[DRE-maint] Bug#698214: ruby-diff-lcs: diff-lcs isn't listed by gem list

[Marc Fournier]

Package: ruby-diff-lcs
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When running "gem list", diff-lcs isn't listed, which causes a
Gem::LoadError when running stuff which requires 'diff/lcs'. Example:

$ rake spec
/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 -S rspec spec/classes/collectd_package_spec.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find diff-lcs (~> 1.1.3) amongst [...long list of gems...] (Gem::LoadError)

Manually creating
/usr/share/rubygems-integration/1.9.1/specifications/diff-lcs-1.1.3.gemspec
and
/usr/share/rubygems-integration/1.8/specifications/diff-lcs-1.1.3.gemspec
solves the problem.

$ apt-cache policy ruby-diff-lcs
ruby-diff-lcs:
  Installed: 1.1.3-1
  Candidate: 1.1.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.1.3-1 0
        500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ dpkg -L ruby-diff-lcs | grep -c rubygems-integration
0

Curiously, when I "apt-get source" the package and rebuild it, the
resulting package *does* contain the 2 gemspec files. So the problem
seems to have been fixed at some point. Maybe the package just needs to
be rebuilt and updated on the mirrors ?

FWIW, I seem to have much more ruby-* packages installed on my system
than the total count of gemfiles installed:

$ dpkg -l | grep ruby- | grep ^ii | wc -l
187
$ ls /usr/share/rubygems-integration/1.8/specifications/ | wc -l
96

Thanks !
