Description of problem:

Among other, rubygem-cucumber depends on these packages:

rubygem(polyglot) >= 0.2.5
rubygem(term-ansicolor) >= 1.0.3


Both of them are currently unavailable as RPM packages in epel or rhel,
which renders rubygem-cucumber uninstallable using "yum install".


If I install them using "gem install", I get the following errors:


/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:636:in `report_activate_error': RubyGem version error: polyglot(0.2.5 not = 0.2.9) (Gem::LoadError)

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:636:in `report_activate_error': RubyGem version error: term-ansicolor(1.0.3 not = 1.0.4) (Gem::LoadError)



Furthermore, rubygem-cucumber depends on:

rubygem(treetop) >= 1.2.5

So far so good, rubygem-treetop-1.3.0 is available in epel. But when
running cucumber I get:

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:636:in `report_activate_error': RubyGem version error: treetop(1.3.0 not = 1.4.2) (Gem::LoadError)


After installing treetop-1.4.2, polyglot-0.2.9 and term-ansicolor-1.0.4 using
"gem install --version", cucumber works fine.

Finally, after having uninstalled the rubygem-cucumber RPM, I have these
gems installed (all except polyglot, term-ansicolor and treetop come from
epel/rhel RPMs):

# gem list 

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

builder (2.1.2)
diff-lcs (1.1.2)
hoe (1.8.2)
polyglot (0.2.9)
rake (0.8.3)
rubyforge (1.0.1)
term-ansicolor (1.0.4)
treetop (1.4.2)

But I am then unable to install the rubygem-cucumber RPM without using
"--nodeps":

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rubygem-cucumber-0.4.2-1.el5.noarch.rpm


How reproducible:
Always

Additional info:

I suppose the specfile should at least be updated to contain:
rubygem(polyglot) = 0.2.9
rubygem(term-ansicolor) = 1.0.4
rubygem(treetop) = 1.4.2
