Package: rcov
Version: 0.8.1.2-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
rcov includes a workaround for broken rexml.write, but it detects ruby
1.8.6 and misses 1.8.7 causing errors like:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/formatters/pretty.rb:131:in `[]': no implicit
conversion from nil to integer (TypeError)
The upstream bug [1] hasn't had any response in six months.

Replacing the abandoned rcov with the relevance-rcov fork brought the
removal of the requirement for rexml [1], which resolves this bug.
It is worth noting that ubuntu karmic does not experience this bug,
likely due to upstream bug fixes in Ruby's rexml, which rcov
originally had workarounds for.
