ruby-build plugin fails on ubuntu 18.04 - libgdbm3 not available

[kpmueller]

Obviously, this is still beta, but 18.04 is coming out soon!

Cookbook version

1.1.0

Chef-client version

12.21

Platform Details

Ubuntu 18.04 beta, upgraded from 17.04 EC2 AMI

Scenario:

I'm using the LWRP to install the ruby-build rbenv plugin

Steps to Reproduce:

Nothing special - install any ruby using ruby-build plugin on ubuntu 18.04

My LWRP is simply something like

rbenv_system_install 'ruby_system'

rbenv_plugin 'ruby-build' do
  git_url 'git://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git'
end

... and then install rubies

Expected Result:

That it works

Actual Result:

No candidate version available for libgdbm3

Like it just needs to be changed to libgdbm4, I would guess? Assuming ruby-build supports that

Hi @kpmueller

Would you mind submitting a PR for this? Looks reasonably simple.

Shout if you get stuck or want talking through the code!

[kpmueller]

good idea - let me do that

[kpmueller]

done: #208

not sure what the preferred way to distinguish platform version differences are. I put in a case statement with a default under the platform family.

[damacus]

Resolve by #208
