2019-01-23 22:28:30 Paul Collins description As noted in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=710814 packaged gem binaries cannot be located via .bin_file/.bin_dir and will cause other ruby code that attempts to execute binaries via these methods to fail. Note that in 2015 bundler stated placing gem binaries in a directory named "exe", but although the error may differ slightly the cause is the same. https://bundler.io/blog/2015/03/20/moving-bins-to-exe.html As noted in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=710814 packaged gem binaries cannot be located via .bin_file/.bin_dir and will cause other ruby code that attempts to execute binaries via these methods to fail. Note that in 2015 bundler stated placing gem binaries in a directory named "exe", but although the error may differ slightly the cause is the same. https://bundler.io/blog/2015/03/20/moving-bins-to-exe.html This is a particular problem for gems that attempt to execute rake via this method. Since the ruby packages depend on the rake package, gems end up with a version of rake that they cannot run via .bin_dir/.bin_file. And also, because of bug#1405108, installing a newer version of rake via "gem install" doesn't solve the problem.
