Definitely. I am sorry for causing this! I did try to test for breakage, but I guess I misinterpreted the salsa CI runner, or it did not check properly.

Also, it would be great if upstream did not do these kind of breaking changes without the equivalent of a soname change.. > https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/meta has build script which makes it > very easy to rebuild all reverse build dependencies. We have ratt, but that requires sbuild, so I ended up never using it. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho)
