in `<module:LibC>': uninitialized constant DL::Importable

[Julien Valroff]

Hi Jonathan,

Some Debian users have reported the following error when using unhide.rb:

/usr/bin/unhide.rb:130: warning: assigned but unused variable - exe
/usr/bin/unhide.rb:32:in `<module:LibC>': uninitialized constant DL::Importable
(NameError)
        from /usr/bin/unhide.rb:31:in `<main>'

As far as I could understand, it seems DL::Importable has been replaced by DL::Importer instead in ruby 1.9, but I unfortunately do not have time to enquire this within the next few weeks.
Do you have any chance to have a look at this?

Here is the original bug report:

Cheers,
Julien

This bug appears to be in Qantal. I get this error from fail2ban:

Warning: The 'unhide.rb' command gave an error:
         /usr/bin/unhide.rb:130: warning: assigned but unused variable - exe
         /usr/bin/unhide.rb:32:in `<module:LibC>': uninitialized constant DL::Importable (NameError)
          from /usr/bin/unhide.rb:31:in `<main>'

Regards

Why it is not affected when we still ship old, bug inside version on Ubuntu?
