OK, not the apt-get way, but wget+dpkg solved if for my Intrepid
system. However, we have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS as our reference deployment
platform, and I have an unmet dependency trying to install
libeventmachine-ruby1.8:


 :~#
 dpkg -i libeventmachine-ruby1.8_0.12.6-1_amd64.deb
Selecting previously deselected package libeventmachine-ruby1.8.
(Reading database ... 15609 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libeventmachine-ruby1.8 (from
libeventmachine-ruby1.8_0.12.6-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libeventmachine-ruby1.8:
 libeventmachine-ruby1.8 depends on libruby1.8 (>= 1.8.7.72); however:
  Version of libruby1.8 on system is 1.8.6.111-2ubuntu1.3.
dpkg: error processing libeventmachine-ruby1.8 (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libeventmachine-ruby1.8

I found out about CHEF-528 after sending my first mail. I hope you
guys keep Chef support for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS in. The "Long Term Service"
addition is of importance in a corporate world. Is it possible to add
the above info the that ticket?
