There are a number of build-dependencies, so that probably won't work: Checking reverse dependencies... # Broken Build-Depends: ruby-fastimage: ruby-fakeweb ruby-httparty: ruby-fakeweb ruby-messagebus-api: ruby-fakeweb ruby-open-uri-redirections: ruby-fakeweb ruby-thor: ruby-fakeweb Dependency problem found. It seems this is the line causing the issue: https://sources.debian.org/src/ruby-fakeweb/1.3.0+git20170806+dfsg1-1/test/test_helper.rb/#L123 Disabling this line seems to make the build succeed. I haven't prepared a patch, because something in the testsuite seems to be changing that file, and I don't really understand what's going on. Alternatively, the entire testsuite for ruby-fakeweb could be disabled. Cheers, Ivo
