Hi.

Checkinstall fails to create a Ruby 1.9.2 package

What can be the cause of the error? How can I tackle it?

Thanks.

Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.1;
Checkinstall 1.6.2.

Just install Debian's ruby1.9.1 package, which is really ruby 1.9.2.

The patch level is different. It's critical for some applications.

You can try installing the Debian Sid package which is 1.9.2.180-2:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=3Druby1.9.1

I think, I have to avail myself of your advise.

Thanks, I=C3=B1aki.

Well, then do the update the right way, namely

apt-get source ruby1.9.1
download the new version into a tarball (let's call it ruby1.9.2pXXX)
cd ruby1.9.1-1.9.2.180
uupdate ../ruby1.9.2pXXX.tar.gz
cd to the new directory
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
