The normal procedure is to use reportbug to file a bug
against the relevant
package which, in this case, is libruby1.8.  But in your
case, that is not
appropriate ...

That release (Sarge) is now obsolete.  It has been
superceded by
Debian 4.0 (Etch).  See:

http://www.debian.org
/releases/

I suspect ruby just didn't include these methods in
FileUtils back then.

Not reproducible in Sid.  And I'm confident you won't be
able to reproduce
the problem on Etch either, though I have not tested this. 
Please update
your system to the latest supported stable release, Debian
4.0 (Etch).

Ben,

Thanks for the help. 

I upgraded using backports and it works perfectly now.

Kind Regards,

Sander

Hi Everyone,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this problem.
But it seems
that after installing ruby by:

apt-get install irb1.8 libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby
libruby1.8 rdoc1.8 
> ruby ruby1.8 ruby1.8-dev

the FileUtils package is not complete. I tried it on 2
debian(3.1)
machines and both have the same problem. The following
statements are
not accepted while they normally are part of the fileutils.

chmod_R
chown
chown_R

Is there anyway to fix this problem? Or should I post it
somewhere else?

Small sample of chmod_R not working:

mars:~/installers/webici# irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'fileutils'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> include FileUtils
=> Object
irb(main):003:0> chmod_R 0700, "/home/sander"
NoMethodError: undefined method `chmod_R' for main:Object
        from (irb):3


Kind Regards,

Sander

Ben,

Thanks for the answer. I can't upgrade because these servers
are used
for webhosting and the hosting control panel not support
etch yet.

Regards,

Sander

Can you use ruby 1.8.5 provided by backports.org in
sarge-backports?
