Missing depends for sup-mail

[Jiri B.]

Binary package hint: sup-mail

When upgrading from karmic's sup-mail to lucid's sup-mail package, sup-mail changed internals of search engine; it is not using ruby-ferret anymore.

sup-mail tells to run - sup-convert-ferret-index - but it doesn't work because it requires libgemplugin-ruby1.8.

$ sup-convert-ferret-index
/usr/bin/sup-convert-ferret-index:3:in `require': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError)
        from /usr/bin/sup-convert-ferret-index:3

after installing libgemplugin-ruby1.8 it works.

jirib@hp530:/tmp$ sup-convert-ferret-index

## xapian index successfully built!

Congratulations, your index has been upgraded to the Xapian backend.
From now on, running sup should detect this index automatically.

If you want to revert to the Ferret index:
1. overwrite /home/jirib/.sup/sources.yaml with /home/jirib/.sup/sources.yaml-before-xapian-upgrade
2. use sup --index ferret, OR delete your /home/jirib/.sup/xapian directory"
Note that the Ferret index will not be supported as of the next Sup release, so
you probably shouldn't do this.

If you are happy with Xapian and want to reclaim precious hard drive space:
1. rm /home/jirib/.sup/sources.yaml-before-xapian-upgrade
2. rm -r /home/jirib/.sup/ferret

Happy supping!
