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 It has been superceded by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).
