Attempting to create a package for ruby-3.3, but it fails when trying to detect a dependency on itself.
Thanks for this patch. Can you clarify what the "failure" is here?
To avoid this, skip them if the target is `ruby`.
The second hunk seems like a removes the dependency on ruby_xy for the ruby package, which also provides ruby_xy.
Historically, we've allowed self-dependencies like this, because they seem to be benign, although it seems like we could do with some generic code to suppress them
(e.g. cygport also ends up generating cygwin-debuginfo with a dependency on itself, which is harmless but could be suppressed)
