I updated the ruby-rails packages last week.
Since then i can use the also installed redmine (3.0~20140825-8~deb8u4)
no longer link tickets together.
Redmine always tells me the issues number is empty,
when I will link issue with an other issue.

I have check the installed version with this command

apt-cache policy ruby-activesupport ruby-rails ruby-activemodel ruby-actionview ruby-railties ruby-actionmailer ruby-actionpack ruby-activerecord

And then I switched to the last version with the command
apt-get install ruby-activesupport=2:4.1.8-1+deb8u4 ruby-rails=2:4.1.8-1+deb8u4 ruby-activemodel=2:4.1.8-1+deb8u4 ruby-actionview=2:4.1.8-1+deb8u4 ruby-railties=2:4.1.8-1+deb8u4 ruby-actionmailer=2:4.1.8-1+deb8u4 ruby-actionpack=2:4.1.8-1+deb8u4 ruby-activerecord=2:4.1.8-1+deb8u4

After these rollbacks, the redmine worked fine again.
Unfortunately I can only reset all ruby packages,
so I can't tell you which of the ruby packages has the problem.

For Information, the version installed redmine
apt-cache policy redmine
redmine:
  Installiert:           3.0~20140825-8~deb8u4

Yes I know the debian version is outdated
but the last ruby-rails update came (19.6.2020) 10 day before this date!
