Description René 'Necoro' Neumann 2014-06-15 10:27:23 UTC 
In fixing the bug https://github.com/mikel/mail/issues/566, the file VERSION got moved out of lib/ into the root folder. The ebuild does not pick it up and installs it, which is a problem as it gets referenced by the code.

Therefore, any use of mail in a program results in the following error:

/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mail-2.6.1/lib/mail/version.rb:6:in `read': No such file or directory - /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mail-2.6.1/lib/mail/../../VERSION (Errno::ENOENT)
	from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mail-2.6.1/lib/mail/version.rb:6:in `<module:VERSION>'
	from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mail-2.6.1/lib/mail/version.rb:3:in `<module:Mail>'
	from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mail-2.6.1/lib/mail/version.rb:2:in `<top (required)>'
	from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
	from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
	from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mail-2.6.1/lib/mail.rb:27:in `<module:Mail>'
	from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mail-2.6.1/lib/mail.rb:2:in `<top (required)>

I'm not sure, what is the best way to fix it, but please do, as in the current shape the package is not usable.

We normally fix this by installing the VERSION file also. Now fixed in mail-2.6.1-r1.
