Hmm, I built the reverse depends on ruby-certificate-authority and found
this failure in reel, and patched it in 0.6.1-3 to fix this error. I'm
surprised its back, that means something didn't go right with my patch.
I'll have a look at it.

The last official upstream tagged release and gem publish was august
2012. The upstream author bumped the version to 2.0 in Sept. 2012, and
there have been a number of important fixes (including security) since
then. There is also a request in the github issue tracker for a new
release in May 2014, no response.

I spoke with the original packager (Sebastien Badia) about updating this
to the current master which fixes those issues, and he gave the go ahead
if we resolved all the reverse-deps.
