Ahhh, good point.  I somehow missed this.  Ruby team and Uploader Praveen
in CC.  What do you think about either changing ruby-em-socksify to not
depend from hpsockd or even remove both packages?  If you want me to
have a look just let me know (I'd volunteer to upgrade to latest upsteam
of ruby-em-socksify as well).

Kind regards
    Andreas.
