Gem installation reports dependency failure

$ gem install canonix
Fetching: canonix-0.1.7.gem (100%)
ERROR:  Error installing canonix:
    canonix requires canonix (>= 0)

Hi Phene, I'm not sure what's causing this. But more to the point, I don't think canonix is required anymore because there are better alternatives. ruby-saml has moved away to another project and I'm not sure anything else is using this gem. Let me know if you still require it fixed up and I'll take another look :)

Gems shouldn't be dependencies of themselves: https://github.com/brendon/canonix/blob/master/canonix.gemspec#L50

Yes, it seems that Jeweler is generating this. I've had a go at fixing it
but can't seem to figure out why it's including itself as a dependency. If
you have any ideas they'd be more than welcome :)

Any updates on this issue. I am facing the same issue.

The gem has been marked as obsolete. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Hehe, it's not actually used anywhere that I'm aware of now. The only
dependency that existed was with various version of ruby-saml. The latest
version of ruby-saml doesn't have the dependency, so updating to that
version should fix your dependency problem.

Farewell poorly written gem!

I am not sure , even after a successful update of bundle, why I'm getting certain gems under $gem outdated

[brendon]

Sorry, I'm not sure I can help. This gem is obsolete now.
