Package: rubygems
Version: 0.9.0-5
This bug applies to Debian 4.0 (etch) on the s390 architecture, it
cannot be reproduced on the x86 architecture.
The install function of the 'gem' program from the rubygems package has
stopped functioning sometime between November of 2006 and January of
2007 after an 'aptitude update && aptitude upgrade'. The following is a
transcript of what happens when trying to install the 'rails' gem.
caitdev:~# gem install rails --include-dependencies --debug

The first four exceptions also occur on an x86 Debian 4.0 (etch) system
with no ill effects. The firth exception does not occur on an
equivalent x86 system.
Exception `Errno::EINVAL' at /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/package.rb:449 -

installing the following packages:
apache2 openssl ssl-cert mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client-5.0 p7zip-full
