Redmine saga: Gentoo still needs ruby-updater

A year and a half ago, fortunately (otherwise I never would have remembered the problem), I wrote about a problem running Redmine. Gentoo apparently updates individual ruby packages, but some of them, dev-ruby/rmagick in particular, need to be built against a certain version of ruby or something and Gentoo doesn’t track that.

Just a few more details on diagnosis and the solution.

Diagnosis:

I need to remember to do that step, next time fastcgi is crashing. What the hell is up with not putting that in the crash log???

Not helpful.

Solution

basalt public # emerge -v rmagick

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
