Can't DU due to Ruby

[pottzie]

Running 3.12-6.towo-siduction-amd64. Just tried a dist-upgrade, and it won't run, getting an error about:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/debian.rb:24:in `require': no such file to load -- debian_version (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/debian.rb:24
from /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:289:in `require'
from /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:289
E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt returned an error code (1)
E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt

Came across a bug report that said it was due to a wrong version of Ruby, but when I try to install ruby1.9.1, the install stops, and the same warning keeps anything from installing or the upgrade from working.

Came across this post in the Siduction forum.

Seems to be the same problem, and was solved by running

Code: Select all

dpkg -i --force-all ruby-gettext_3.0.3-1_all.deb
dpkg -i --force-all ruby-locale_2.1.0-2_all.deb

Not sure how they arrived at the version numbers, or what's locking me out. Any way to know what version number ruby/debian.rb:24 is?

I'd first purge apt-listbugs, this locks in ruby as dependency.
The version numbers of ruby-gettext and ruby-locale do not correspond 1:1 to ruby, there are three versions in the repos: 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0, hence the confusion (see Python)

That is an old problem, what about this:

Ah, Machine is on its way.

Just as reference... seems that it is indeed apt-listbugs.

Edit: thanks Ivan :)

So..commented out all of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs. Tried DU, made it to 'setting up..' all the files, then crapped out showing; Errors were encountered while processing:
console-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Then tried both of the "dpkg -i --force-all ruby-gettext_" scripts, neither worked. Ran "# LANG=C apt-get -s remove ruby-locale," that worked, but DU still shows

Code: Select all

Looking for keymap to install:
NONE
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
Failed to issue method call: Unit keymap.sh.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status keymap.sh.service' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript keymap.sh, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package console-common (--configure):

Went back and uncommented /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs, still won't go. Ran "dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-gettext_3.0.3-1_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/ruby-locale_2.1.0-2_all.deb" and that went as far as

Looks like this:

Maybe a systemd issue.

Could be Ivan. I've had apt-listbugs removed/purged or disabled on my bakewell installs for about the last 2 weeks.

Oh the key map thing? . . . that was from a while back, before the lastest ruby bollocks . . . you rename keymap.sh, do the upgrade and then restore the name - all sorted.

[EDIT] i just skim read threads. apologies if of what I've said isn't relevant. I saw apt-listbugs, ruby, locale, keymap.sh (not necessarily in that order) and took it from there \o/
