Bug Description

$ dpkg -L libgettext-ruby1.8
... snip ...
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/amd64-linux
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/amd64-linux/gettext
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/amd64-linux/gettext/_locale.so
... snip ...

These files should be in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/. As a result, alexandria does not work.

$ alexandria
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gettext/locale_default.rb:12:in `require': no such file to load -- gettext/_locale (LoadError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gettext/locale_default.rb:12
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gettext/locale.rb:15
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gettext.rb:18
        from /usr/bin/alexandria:6

As a temporary fix, the following solves the problem:

ln -s /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/amd64-linux/gettext /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/

This is because of an Ubuntu change: see http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/ongoing-merge/libgettext-ruby/libgettext-ruby_ubuntu.patch . Jeff, can you explain why you made this change ?

Also, the version in Debian seems to fix the problem by not specifying --sodir anymore.

This very simple patch leaves ruby's setup.rb do its best to determine where to install files. It was tested on amd64, and it works.

I didn't set the upload target, but I think that this could go to breezy-updates, since the change is very minor and was already integrated into Debian's package.

Indeed ;)
