This should have been filed as a bug report, but is a bit too messy, I
hope it is ok that I send as post. I started writing a bug report on the
26th and abandoned it - because if it is a bug, it did not work in the
way I expected it to, i.e. I was unable to find it in another package
where I expected it should also be found. However, I still have no
explanation for it, and have done a number of checks, and the mystery
lintian error occurs on packages that previously build cleanly, so I
post you my quandary.
Has lintian has developed a ruby related bug)?, it appears to no longer
recognise ruby bangs in some packages (not in others for the same bang,
I have not been able to isolate why).
This error now appears in new builds and attempts to redo old builds
that previously built without warnings (and have used pbuilder):
Now running lintian...
E: sisu: ruby-script-but-no-ruby-dep ./usr/bin/sisu
E: sisu: ruby-script-but-no-ruby-dep ./usr/bin/sisu_webrick
E: sisu: ruby-script-but-no-ruby-dep ./usr/bin/sisu_termsheet
Finished running lintian.
test packages
dget -x http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sisu/sisu_0.46.1-1.dsc
and
dget -x http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/pkg/src/sisu_0.46.2-1.dsc
(i) error is reported on versions that previously built without error
(ii) have checked the control file, ruby depends (appear to) look ok there
grep-aptavail -F Package -e '^sisu$' -s Package -s Version -s Depends
Package: sisu
Version: 0.46.2-1
Depends: ruby (= 1.8.2), libwebrick-ruby
(iii) within the files complained about i use a standard ruby bang variant:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
have rebuilt to test using
#!/usr/bin/ruby
same error message
(iv) to check run linda, no error reported
(v) mysteriously my other package rant, has no such problem
dget -x http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rant/rant_0.5.6-2.dsc
My apologies in advance if this is just me being obtuse.

Problem with Lintian (or vice versa)
(SiSU build or) Lintian bug (with ruby bangs?) - a rather verbose
account (feedback/explanation/confirmation of issue welcome):
It appears Lintian no longer recognises ruby bangs?? (it is late, who
knows what i could be missing)
This error now appears in new builds and attempts to redo old builds
that previously built without warnings (and have used pbuilder):
verbose lintian output:
E: sisu: ruby-script-but-no-ruby-dep ./usr/bin/sisu
N:
N: Packages with scripts that are executed with ruby must depend on the
N: package ruby. Those that have scripts executed with a versioned ruby
N: package need a dependency on the equivalent version of ruby.
N:
N: For example, if a script in the package uses #!/usr/bin/ruby, then the
N: package needs a dependency on ruby. If a script uses
N: #!/usr/bin/ruby1.6, then the package need a dependency on ruby1.6.

(a) within the files complained about i use a standard ruby bang variant:

same errors thrown
(b) have checked the control file, ruby depends look ok there

(c) oh, and no such warnings from linda
I started writing a bug report, but abandoned it when I got inconsistent
reports from lintian (on other packages) for what I thought the bug must
be - it threw an error on previous build of sisu, but not on rant, which
by my reckoning should have met with the same issue... whether bug is in
my builds or in lintian - my abandoned bug report is also attached
