I am getting thing error from cron, it started happening on the update
to Stretch and Buster did not fix it.

It looks like something missing from Ruby, but I am not able to find
it searching and I have no idea about ruby anyway.


Perhaps someone can help.

Yep that is it exactly. In the meantime I tried uninstalling dhelp and 
seeing if reinstalling it helped. The first bit worked but there is no 
dhelp in Buster only in sid. I'm not sure if I can install stretch 
packages anymore but I am going to let the bug slide. I don't need 
online help or it being indexed, I am just going to delete the cron entry.


Thanks for everyone's advice
