Hi,
gem2deb behaves weirdly when it is cross built. This is how it looks:
| debian/rules clean
| /usr/bin/ruby: 1: ELF[GIBBERISH]3616418 : not found
| /usr/bin/ruby: 1: [GIBBERISH]: not found
| /usr/bin/ruby: 1: [GIBBERISH]: not found
| /usr/bin/ruby: 1: T[GIBBERISH]: not found
| /usr/bin/ruby: 1: k: not found
| /usr/bin/ruby: 1: [GIBBERISH] not found
| /usr/bin/ruby: 2: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
| dh clean
Evidently, the build dependency on ruby is satisfied with a host
architecture interpreter that cannot be run. It is quite surprising that
the build does not fail here and I suspect that the lack of failure is a
violation of Debian policy 10.4.
In more recent sbuild, a recent apt feature called "barbarian
architectures" is enabled. It prevents this situation from happening by
refusing to install a foreign ruby package. When using that, what
happens is this:
| The following packages have unmet dependencies:
| rake : Depends: ruby:any
| ruby-rubygems : Depends: ruby:any
| E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
| apt-get failed.
I think it is pretty clear that what was meant here is installing a
build architecture ruby interpreter. Given that it actually fails on
recent sbuild, I am tracking it as a FTCBFS. Patch attached.
