Unable to add sources

[johnson-christopher]

I am using sup-config to add sources and after adding them I get the following errors:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/sup/account.rb:38:in `initialize': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/sup/util.rb:576:in `new'
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/sup/util.rb:576:in `init'
from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/sup.rb:166:in `start'
    from /usr/bin/sup-add:78:in `<main>'

When I try to run sup-sync I get the same error (except the call originates in sup-sync on line 80 instead of sup-add on line 78.

This is using the 0.12..1+git20120407.aaa852f version in the Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) repo.

So, I tried to use the one from "gem install sup" instead and then I get this error as soon as I run sup-config and it immediately exits:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': superclass mismatch for class Iconv (TypeError)

    from /usr/local/bin/sup-config:23:in `<main>'

The version of the iconv gem I have is 1.0.3.

I have no idea where the first error comes from... looking at the code, the value can't be nil. The second error is probably related to #11, which is fixed in the development branch. Maybe you could try cloning the development branch from github and running that?

Check out: https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/wiki/Running-from-git for how to test the development branch

When I run out of the development branch I get the second error. I'm thinking it could have something to do with Ubuntu being stupid about the versions. It all says 1.9.1 but the actual version that I get when I run ruby is 1.9.3. I'm going to try completely uninstalling ruby and gems and start from scratch to see how it goes. I'll let you know.

[johnson-christopher]

Re-installing everything related to ruby seems to have the development version working now. I have no idea which package was to blame unfortunately, because I got tired of doing one at a time without success, so I just went nuclear on it. It's fixed now either way. Thank you for you help.
