Hi, Sounds like a ruby1.9 compat problem. If you want to work around the problem on a temporary basis, replace || /usr/bin/how-can-i-help by || ruby1.8 /usr/bin/how-can-i-help (and make sure that you have ruby1.8 installed) Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
