Jekyll doesn't work at all.

[Simon Kågedal Reimer]

Here's what happens with a freshly installed jekyll for me, on Ubuntu GNOME 14.10:

simon@struts:~/projects/manual$ jekyll

Installed version of jekyll is 2.0.3+dfsg-1.

Appears the problem has been fixed in Debian package of ruby-jekyll-sass-converter:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756845

The installed version of ruby-jekyll-sass-converter is 1.0.0-1.

This bug was also reported as https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756845 . It can be boiled down to the following necessary changes:

1. Open /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/jekyll/converters/sass.rb

2. Add

require 'jekyll/converters/scss'

at the top, after "require 'jekyll/utils'"

3. Install the ruby-mercenary package, as reported in Launchpad bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jekyll/+bug/1382984 .

After these three steps jekyll works for me on a stock Ubuntu 14.10 installation.

Yes, sorry for reporting a bug that's already fixed in Debian, have to admit that I'm not quite sure how fixes from Debian propagate to Ubuntu. I just thought I'd report it since it's really critical for the package. The suggested fix worked for me as well.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is this still an issue? If not, please close this bug report. Thanks.
