It doesn't require ruby:1.8. Use eselect ruby and choose whichever ruby interpreter you like to create the /usr/bin/ruby symlink and it will work fine. |
I tried to update my system the other day and this package was one of those annoying one. This package needs dev-lang/ruby:1.8 to start with. But waite that's not all. Since dev-lang/ruby is slotted, everything is renamed and well sorted in filesystem tree depending on the slot. That's where begin the headache because everything with a header like '!#/usr/bin/env ruby' will fail to execute if there's no symlink the active ruby! This what I have to discover trying to merge that version. I'm going to open a new bug for portage slot enhancement. I'm sick of getting headaches because of slotting. Wait, I'd like the whole idea of slotting but something should be done to ease redcurrant occasional breakages. So to merge this package one should manualy make a symlinkk to ruby18: ln -s /usr/bin/ruby{18,}'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -av media-video/mkvtoolnix 2. 3. Actual Results: /usr/bin/env: ruby not found. Expected Results: merge the package
