just tried ruby/rails/instiki on debian testing (squeeze)
besides the fact that debian seems to be a bad platform choice to run ruby (rubygems cannot be updated with gem's internal gem update -- system command and is on version 1.2, which renders it unusable for rails 2.3.2) the same reported issue as on ubuntu just occured:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.2/lib/initializer.rb:269:in `require_frameworks': no such file to load -- net/https (RuntimeError)

so the issue affects debian and ubuntu.

apt-get install libopenssl-ruby
also did fix this issue.

see this topic on the rubygems madness on debian:

jaques: maybe we do a fallback to http if the libopenssl-ruby is not available? so people could still run instiki without https.

do we know if there is only ubuntu with that issues or somebody on that list also had issues with debian?

I don't know which parts of Rails actually use net/https. But there are a BUNCH of other dependencies in Rails, on libopenssl, which will probably break if it's not installed.

I haven't heard any complaints from Debian users, so I assume this is just an Ubuntu issue.

This is not the only package that you need to install, in order to run Instiki on Ubuntu, so I don't think adding it to the list of required packages is a big deal (and does no harm on Debian, for that matter).
