A few friends are facing a strange issue when installing gems on Ubuntu 9.10:
http://pastie.org/690255 (Pasting here the errors for consistency) Installing gem diff-lcs-1.1.2 Exception `ArgumentError' at /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/date.rb:727 - invalid date ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError) invalid date /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/date.rb:727:in `new' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `node_import' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load' This is the environment: http://pastie.org/690258 After checking the gemspec for the guilty gem: $ gem spec diff-lcs date --remote --- !timestamp at: "2004-10-20 01:00:00 -03:00" "@marshal_with_utc_coercion": false While is my understanding that "date" should be a string. Anyone having similar issues with other gems? Should we start enforcing the specs of the gems? -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
