Hi, In the process of updating ruby-json, I stumbled on a problem caused by the presence of several .gemspec files in the source. Whereas using the DH_RUBY_GEMSPEC environmnent variable in debian/rules allows one to indicate a specific gemfile to build the package, the test runner fail when trying to check dependencies because it doesn't know which file to work on. If the environment variable DH_RUBY_GEMSPEC was set in the autopkgtest environment then the metadata handling from gem2deb could choose correctly the gemspec. I cannot think of a simple mechanism to make this variable accessible also to gem2deb-test-runner --check-dependencies, when it is run in autopkgtests. A solution would be to not rely on autopkgtest-pkg-ruby automatic test suite, but write an autopkgtest test. But it would be more satisfactory to still use the standard parameters. Do you have an idea? Cédric
