On taking a closer look, I found out that ruby-ujs in no longer maintained and the project has been archived. The README says that the project has been merged with rails 5.1.
But even then, the autopkgtest is failing. Even 'gem install rails-ujs' throws an error, which is obvious.
Although, meta/build seems to be working just fine (except for the autopkgtest).
What is the workaround here?
Should we possibly disable the tests for now?
Because this is a dependency of diaspora which we are trying to package and get it running at the earliest.
Best,
