[DRE-maint] Bug#834963: ruby-protected-attributes: FTBFS too much often (failing tests)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:ruby-protected-attributes
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because this source package only generates "Arch: all" packages, this
is the same as a FTBFS bug in the usual sense, and the fact that I was
doing "dpkg-buildpackage -A" does not mean anything special.

I attach a single build log, but there are more here:

Thanks.
