<internal:lib/rubygems/defaults>:24: warning: statement not reached

[Hadmut Danisch]

ruby1.9.1 has two minor bugs which cause nasty and annoying error messages when in warning mode:

% ruby1.9.1 -w /dev/null
<internal:lib/rubygems/defaults>:24: warning: statement not reached
<internal:lib/rubygems/defaults>:76: warning: statement not reached

which is annoying and breaks functionality (e.g. causes programs like cron to send error messages even if there's no error.)

This problem is not contained in upstream ruby, but was introduced by the debian maintainers with the patch

debian/patches/20100829-rubygems_default_dir.diff

(The inserted a return statement at the beginning of two functions without removing the remaining statements.)

However, the problem has been fixed some time ago in the debian git repository. The patch now comments the old statements out.

Please pull that updated patch from debian into the ubuntu package.
