Rubygems dependency bug?

ruby-talk
1

I'm building a gem that has a dependency on net-ssh. So, in the gemspec, I do:

   s.add_dependency 'net-ssh', '>= 1.0.2'

The gem builds fine. However, when I install it, it does not try to install the dependencies, and installs just fine even if the dependencies are not met.

I have verified that I do not have the net-ssh gem installed.

I have also done 'gem dependency' on the new package I just installed, and it verifies that net-ssh is a dependency:

   Requires
     net-ssh (>= 1.0.2)

I am using gems 0.8.10.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?

Are you doing a local install? Dependencies are not checked for local
installs. (To be addressed in version 0.9.xx).

Bingo! Okay, that's the issue, then. Thanks for clearing it up, Jim.
