Title:
  Package dependencies need work

Status in “mcollective” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “mcollective” source package in Oneiric:
  In Progress
Status in “mcollective” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ---- SRU Justification (Marc Cluet) ----

  TEST CASE:
  1. Install mcollective-middleware, it won't install mcollective
  2. Install mcollective-clients, some of the plugins will fail due to the lack of rubygems, libsystemu-ruby or ruby-json

  REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
  It's just adding missing dependencies, regression potential almost 0 since we don't incur in any other changes.

  COURSE OF ACTION FOR ONEIRIC:
  Add the missing dependencies.

  1. Add mcollective in mcollective-middleware package so it installs the missing daemon
  2. Add rubygems, libsystemu-ruby or ruby-json on mcollective-clients package in order to

  ---- SRU Justification ----

  This is actually a bug report for mcollective, mcollective-middleware
  and mcollective-client.

  The package dependencies need to be looked at because as they stand
  now on Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric, they are not correct.

  What I have discovered so far is:

  mcollective-middleware need to depend on mcollective, otherwise the
  directory /etc/mcollective is not created.

  At least mcollective-client needs to depends on 'rubygems'. Without it you receive the following:
  $ mc-find-hosts
  /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/mcollective.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError)
      from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/mcollective.rb:1
      from /usr/sbin/mc-find-hosts:3:in `require'
      from /usr/sbin/mc-find-hosts:3

  I believe mcollective-middleware also needs to depend on rubygems,
  because the above error was replaced with "silence" after installing
  rubygems. Once I restarted the mcollective service, silence was
  replaced with the correct functionality.

  Please let me know if you need more information.
