[DRE-maint] Bug#703961: ruby-activerecord-2.3: activerecord broken, unknown function write_inheritable_hiwa, possibly more

[Martin Hradil]

Package: ruby-activerecord-2.3
Version: 2.3.14-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

ruby-activerecord-2.3.14-6 contains unknown method call write_inheritable_hiwa.

I use redmine (under mod_passenger) and after upgrading to this activerecord, it just shows a huge stacktrace ending with unknown method write_inheritable_hiwa.
After trying to replace it with write_inheritable_attribute, redmine login screen shows up but afterwards just goes error 500 so it's probably not the only problem. Or a bad fix :).

Anyway, after downgrading ruby-activerecord-2.3 to squeeze-backports version (2.3.14-1~bpo60+1), everything works as expected.

Best regards,
Martin Hradil
