Dear Maintainer,
Desired Behavior: The following works on clean Debian Buster /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install --no-document msgpack Actual Behavior:
puppet-agent's bundled rbconfig.rb (/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.5.0/x86_64-linux/rbconfig.rb) contains the following line:
CONFIG["MAKEDIRS"] = "/usr/bin/mkdir -p"
however there is no /usr/bin/mkdir on a clean Debian Buster system; mkdir
resides in /bin only. This configuration results in failed build of
native Ruby gems, which use mkmf: mkmf generates the following line into
the native Ruby gem Makefile:
MAKEDIRS = /usr/bin/mkdir -p
Following use of such $MAKEDIRS value results in failed installation,
e.g. for the msgpack gem:
make "DESTDIR=" install make: /usr/bin/mkdir: Command not foundmake: *** [Makefile:200: .sitearchdir.-.msgpack.time] Error 12 make install failed, exit code 2
The behavior can be verified on your system by running
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install --no-document msgpack
My ruby experience level is low, however based on the above I recommend
to fix the value of CONFIG["MAKEDIRS"] in rbconfig.rb. This would avoid
the failed builds of native gems/extensions.
Thank you for handling this issue.
Best regards
