[DRE-maint] Bug#969206: 969206: additional info

[Andrius Merkys]

Hello,

I have attempted patching out dependencies in Gemfile, namely, rails and
roadie-rails, to accept later major releases. However, I ran into the
following autopkgtest failures.

First of all, 'service apache2 restart' fails in autopkgtest on schroot.
It tries to execute 'systemctl', which apparently is not there, as
systemd package does not seem to be installed there. Nevertheless, this
issue could be circumvented by replacing 'service apache2 restart' with
'apachectl restart' (not sure about side effects, but at least Apache2
starts).

With this patch I continued with autopkgtest 'command1', which checks
whether the main page of Redmine loads. And this check failed with
"Redmine 500 error", with the following message in error log:

Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 208ms (ActiveRecord: 25.5ms |
Allocations: 74866)

NotImplementedError (Subclasses must implement a find_templates(name,
prefix, partial, details, locals = []) method):

config/initializers/10-patches.rb:74:in `block in find_all'
config/initializers/10-patches.rb:69:in `find_all'
lib/redmine/sudo_mode.rb:63:in `sudo_mode'

I have little idea, but this might be a signal of incompatibility with
new ruby-rails.
