Hi, It seems to me that this bug should be reassigned to ruby-activerecord-3.2. The Arel::Relation module was already empty in the 3.2 version of Arel (and mentionned as deprecated).
There is a patch upstream to remove (useless) usage of Arel::Relation in ruby-activerecord. https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/2fa7ccf7aee3696e99f1b528db848aff5a671f77 I've successfully installed redmine-sql with a version of ruby-activerecord-3.2 with a trivial backport of this patch (attached) and ruby-arel 4.0-1 from the archive.
