Note that the ruby2.3 package in Debian does *not* ship did_you_mean.

Hi, after out chat on IRC today I have just uploaded ruby-did-you-mean, but it is the latest version of did_you_mean, which will not work on Ruby < 2.3. However, I went to look at the Sonic Pi source, and not having did_you_mean is not fatal, as the only place where it is explicitly mentioned is this (app/server/core.rb, line 43): begin require 'did_you_mean' rescue LoadError warn "Non-critical error: Could not load did_you_mean" end So if `require 'did_you_mean'` fails -- and it will fail on Ruby < 2.3 -- Sonic Pi seems to just goes ahead and ignores it. The solution for having did_you_mean working on Ruby < 2.3 would be to take version 0.10.0. I tried that, but that would require an extra dependency (interception), which seems to be obsolete because the newer did_you_mean does not have that dependency anymore (I imagine the needed features have been added to Ruby 2.3 itself). -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
