[Andreas Schmidt]

Package: screenruler
Version: 0.960+bzr41-1.2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

all of a sudden, screenruler quits immediately if I try to start it:

After installing ruby-cairo-gobject, the program works again (changed
dependencies during the transition from Jessie to Stretch, perhaps?). Could
you, please, let screenruler depend on ruby-cairo-gobject?

Thanks a lot

Andreas
