Package: libruby1.8
Severity: important
Tags: sid, upstream

hi,

the latest yaml.rb in ruby 1.8.3 has problems dealing with Bignum
Values. Somewhen in september Time.tv_sec values turned Bignum instead
of Fixnum. This, for example, breaks raggle:

 abi@radiohead:~$ raggle
 Raggle: Loading config...
 Raggle: Loading feed list...
 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `transfer': allocator undefined for
 Bignum (TypeError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
        from /usr/bin/raggle:4795:in `load_config'
        from /usr/bin/raggle:5441:in `main'
        from /usr/bin/raggle:6461

bye,
    - michael

severity 331050 critical
thanks

it breaks unrelated software so lets go RC. :)

Submitter is confused about the definition of "unrelated", and this bug is said
to only affect 1.8.3, while Breezy has 1.8.2.

hi again,

please note that the patch does still not prevent raggle from crashing:

 root@pbuilderchroot:/# raggle
 Raggle: Loading config...
 Raggle: Loading feed list...
 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `transfer': allocator undefined for
 Bignum (TypeError)

        from /usr/bin/raggle:6461

i rebuild unstable's ruby packages with your patch and it works quite
well.
