Package: ruby1.8 Version: 1.8.2-3 Severity: normal Hello,
There seems to be a problem with usage of the ruby-breakpoint library[1] with the Debian Ruby packages. Where it seems to run fine when ruby 1.8.2 (the most recent one) is build from source, this does not work with Debian's ruby1.8. See also: http://ruby-breakpoint.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?FrequentlyAskedQuestions (question: I'm getting "SecurityError" (Insecure operation...)) I have been able to reproduce this (got the tarball from the homepage, possible even without installing): First start: $ ruby -I./lib -rbreakpoint -e "Breakpoint.activate_drb; breakpoint" and then in parallel start: $ ruby -I./lib bin/breakpoint_client the first instance raises: (druby://localhost:42532) bin/breakpoint_client:105:in `write': Insecure operation `write' at level 4 (SecurityError) from (druby://localhost:42532) bin/breakpoint_client:105:in `puts' from (druby://localhost:42532) bin/breakpoint_client:105:in `breakpoint_handler' from (druby://localhost:42532) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1520:in `call' from ./lib/breakpoint.rb:314:in `add_breakpoint' from ./lib/breakpoint.rb:219:in `handle_breakpoint' from ./lib/breakpoint.rb:207:in `catch' from ./lib/breakpoint.rb:207:in `handle_breakpoint' from ./lib/breakpoint.rb:119:in `breakpoint' from ./lib/breakpoint.rb:538:in `breakpoint' from ./lib/breakpoint.rb:537:in `of_caller' from ./lib/breakpoint.rb:537:in `breakpoint' from -e:1 flgr told me that using plain ruby 1.8.2 has fixed the problem for everyone so far Also the modified libruby seems to fix it, but not much information is available at the moment. Also it is not known which patch precisely fixed the problem. Does Debian ruby1.8 use vanilla ruby 1.8.2 at the moment or a patched pre-version?
