This explanation could help:2012-01-03 19:54:30 <?terceiro > the problem is the way rubygems tries to find which rake to call 2012-01-03 19:54:53 <?terceiro > the last resort is using `Gem.default_exec_format % 'rake'`
2012-01-03 19:55:05 <?terceiro > $ irb1.8 -rubygems 2012-01-03 19:55:05 <?terceiro > >> Gem.default_exec_format 2012-01-03 19:55:05 <?terceiro > => "%s1.8" 2012-01-03 19:55:05 <?terceiro > >> Gem.default_exec_format % 'rake' 2012-01-03 19:55:05 <?terceiro > => "rake1.8"We are already providing rake1.9.1, so the way rubygems assumes rake is 'rake' + version is not totally senseless. So i think providing a rake1.8 wrapper is needed. Maybe ruby1.8 is not the right place (terceiro just told me it would create a circular dependency to depend on rake), but a solution should really be found so long as 1.8 is supported.
As for people hitting the same problem, there is a workaround: rake=rake gem2deb <gem> which would force rubygems to take the right executable. Regards. -- Marc Dequènes (Duck)
