[Bug 1706740] [NEW] ruby upgrade broke redmine dependency

Wed Jul 26 18:47:56 UTC 2017

Public bug reported:

On a Ubuntu 16.04 system deploying a Redmine issue tracker using the
Ubuntu redmine package this night's (the systemd apt-daily timer has
been rescheduled to run at 00:30) unattended upgrade of USN-3365
security updates to Ruby packages
(https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3365-1/) caused the Redmine application
to break.

Accessing the site caused Phusion Passenger to come up with a "We're
sorry, but something went wrong.". The problem was identified and
notified by email during the upgrade's processing of triggers on the
redmine package where it was determined that the gem dependency "webrat"
somehow was unavailable.

The situation was resolved by running "bundle install" in the base
directory /usr/share/redmine which caused most of the gems to be updated
but I feel uneasy about this being a problem at all and fear breakage on
future upgrades.

I'm not too familiar with ruby, gems, bundler and apt triggers, so I've
been unable to grasp where things go wrong and where a remedy is best
deployed. Could it be as simple as adding a bundle update/install to the
redmine trigger?

Besides the core dependency to webrat, I got a plugin referring to webrat also:
$ grep -r webrat /var/lib/redmine/ /usr/share/redmine
/var/lib/redmine/Gemfile.lock:    webrat (0.7.3)
/var/lib/redmine/Gemfile.lock:  webrat
/usr/share/redmine/plugins/redmine_timesheet_plugin/Gemfile:  gem 'webrat'
/usr/share/redmine/plugins/redmine_timesheet_plugin/test/test_helper.rb:require "webrat"
