Hi!
I am reassigning this bug to the `how-can-i-help` package. Indeed, the
script `/usr/bin/how-can-i-help` uses implicitly the OpenStruct class,
without requiring explicitly 'ostruct'. The class was loaded
transitively from the json gem it seems.
Adding below line 35 the following line:
require 'ostruct'
fixes the bug.
Cheers,
Cédric
