Subject: ruby1.8: FTBFS: lib/yaml/syck.rb:5:in `require': no such file to load -- syck (LoadError)

Package: ruby1.8
Version: 1.8.2-4
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

When building 'ruby1.8' in a clean 'unstable' chroot,
I get the following error:

Generating RI...

This could be fixed by adding a Build-Depends on 'libruby1.8'
to debian/control. However, this would make the 'ruby1.8' package
depend on itself, which does not seem to be a good idea.
Please don't do that.

The previous version 1.8.2-3 did not have this problem.

The FTBFS problem can be fixed by removing the new '103_cvs_updates.patch'
from debian/patches.
