I've sent this patch to the RubyGems folks, but they're a bit reticent
to apply it, since I can't explain why the patch works. However, it
did allow me to install the cap beta gem successfully. If you're up to
the challenge and don't mind cargo culting code that fixes bugs for no
apparent reason, you can do this:
1. Locate rubygems/package.rb somewhere in your Ruby library paths. It
was under /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems for me.
2. Open it up, and find the zipped_stream method.
3. Replace that method, entirely, with the following:
def zipped_stream(entry)
entry.read(10) # skip the gzip header
zis = Zlib::Inflate.new(-Zlib::MAX_WBITS)
is = StringIO.new(zis.inflate(entry.read))
ensure
zis.finish if zis
end
Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
