Bug 559158

The method seems available in the sub-digests just not in the Digests module:

$ irb
> OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1.methods.include?("hexdigest")
=> true
> OpenSSL::Digest::MD5.methods.include?("hexdigest")
=> true

Hmm, I wonder what has changed here

By the way what exactly does "the previous release" mean?
Would you tell us what EVR (Epoch-Version-Release) of ruby
worked?

Sorry - I just updated Ruby before the error appeared giving me the assumption it worked but it might not have been the case.  This code (which works on OSX and hence I didn't pick it up until I started testing on other platforms):

OpenSSL::Digest.hexdigest(md, content.to_der).scan(/../).join(':').upcase

So it might have been an older change than that and I apologise for leading you down a rabbit hole.

I've confirmed this call works fine on OSX, Ubuntu Karmic and Debian Lenny.

Which are:

OSX: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72)
Lenny: 1.8.7.72-3lenny1
Ubuntu: 1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1

Well, for now I guess this is NOTABUG for 1.8.6.x ruby.

Note that this method does not exist on EL-5's version of Ruby either. (ruby-1.8.5-5.el5_3.7).

The fix seems to be to apply revision 15600 to Ruby:

[jmeeuwen@ghandalf SPECS]$ ruby -ropenssl -e 'OpenSSL::Digest.methods.include?("hexdigest")'
[jmeeuwen@ghandalf SPECS]$ ruby -ropenssl -e ' puts OpenSSL::Digest.methods.include?("hexdigest")'
true
[jmeeuwen@ghandalf SPECS]$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'openssl'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> OpenSSL::Digest.methods.include?("hexdigest")
=> true
irb(main):003:0>

With ruby-1.8.6.388-8.fc13 rebuilding rubygem-actionpack 2.3.4
(and 2.3.5 which I am trying) fails on "rake test":

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1948498

with messages like:
Message: <"wrong argument (String)! (Expected kind of OpenSSL::Digest)">

Once untagging ruby-1.8.6.388-8.fc13

(Sorry, it seems that I have done something wrong. Now retagging
 -7.fc13 as dist-f13)

(Once re-retagging -7.fc13, not -8.fc13)

Now the latest dist-f13 ruby is surely ruby-1.8.6.388-7.fc13.
Sorry for sending multiple noise.

I guess this is a mistake of OpenSSL::Digest::Digest .

irb(main):001:0> require "openssl"
=> true
irb(main):002:0> OpenSSL::Digest::Digest.hexdigest('md5', 'foo')
=> "acbd18db4cc2f85cedef654fccc4a4d8"
irb(main):003:0> OpenSSL::Digest::Digest.hexdigest('sha256', 'foo')
=> "2c26b46b68ffc68ff99b453c1d30413413422d706483bfa0f98a5e886266e7ae"

I can confirm this bug in ruby-1.8.6.388-8.fc13 (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=153296).

After upgrade from ruby-1.8.5-5.7 some applications started throwing this error:

  Status: 500 Internal Server Error
  wrong argument (String)! (Expected kind of OpenSSL::Digest)
    /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/openssl/digest.rb:55:in `initialize'
(...)

Would would try 1.8.6.399-5?

(I will request to make 1.8.6.399-5 pushed into testing once the
 previous 1.8.6.399-4 is pushed into testing to avoid bodhi side
 confusion. If you want to try now, please visit:
