Ubuntu 20.04 ships with a very old version of ruby-unicode-display-width, which includes a library that was deprecated in 2018.
As a result, some ruby utilities print an error such as this:
```
stefanl@foreman:~ $ hammer --help
NOTE: Gem.gunzip is deprecated; use Gem::Util.gunzip instead. It will be removed on or after 2018-12-01.
Gem.gunzip called from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/unicode/display_width/index.rb:5.
```
The library was fixed in version 1.3.3 which was released in 2018 according to https://github.com/janlelis/unicode-display_width/issues/17 . However, Ubuntu 20.04.6 still ships with version 1.1.3-1, which was released in 2018.

Ubuntu 20.04 ships with a very old version of ruby-unicode-display-width, which includes a library that was deprecated in 2018. Ubuntu should update this package with a modern version.
As a result, some ruby utilities print an error such as this:
