Bug#677650: proposed fix for this bug

[Cédric Boutillier]

Control: tag -1 patch

Hi!

Since this tool is working fine with Ruby 1.8, a solution would be to
change the shebang to /usr/bin/ruby1.8 and depend on ruby1.8 instead of
ruby. This would be worfing at least for Wheezy, since ruby1.8 belongs
to the repository, and will give time to upstream to adapt unhide.rb for
Ruby 1.9 or higher.

Attached is a proposed patch to fix this issue. If there is no
objection, I am considering updloading it in a couple of days.

Cheers,

Cédric

+Description: change shebang to use Ruby1.8 instead of default Ruby1.9
+ Wheezy ships Ruby1.9 as the default Ruby version. The script unhide.rb
+ contains code specific for Ruby1.8 (use of DL::Importable module), and thus
+ should be run with the Ruby1.8 interpreter.
