[DRE-maint] Bug#923846: ruby-rjb: broken autopkgtests

[Steve Langasek]

Package: ruby-rjb
Version: 1.5.5-3
Severity: important
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu disco

Hi Chris,

Since March of last year, the autopkgtests for ruby-rjb have been failing. 
The oldest available log on ci.debian.net is for 1.5.5-3, which fails with:

[...]
Started
E
===============================================================================
Error: test_64fixnum(TestRjb): RuntimeError: Constants DL and Fiddle is not defined.
/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.hn2qcjxy/downtmp/build.3WH/src/test/test.rb:21:in `setup'
===============================================================================

[...]

  (https://ci.debian.net/packages/r/ruby-rjb/unstable/amd64/)

I don't know ruby and don't know the right way to address this, but since
the autopkgtests did previously pass, this is a regression which is
currently keeping ruby-rjb from being included in Ubuntu releases.  I
understand it will also be an issue for migration of the ruby-rjb package in
the future now that britney gates on autopkgtest regressions.

Cheers,
