Bug #21906
closed
Seemingly duplicate Gem directories after installing arvados-api-server
Description
On a fresh install, after the postinst script runs, there are two subdirectories under /var/www/arvados-api-server/shared/vendor_bundle/ruby:
- one for the full Ruby version
M.N.P - one for just the "minor" version
M.N.0
In #21700 we added some code to manually install gems with gem install to work around a Bundler bug. This makes it look like that code has its own bug: gem is supposed to be installing gems in the same directory where Bundler will work, but isn't quite successful.
Hopefully this is just a matter of changing the target directory. Investigate, add a test, fix.

This adds a test for the bug. Then it fixes the bug. The test also revealed that the postinst script would crash on Red Hat distros if a web server was not installed. So the branch goes on to add more handling and reporting for that case to make it more user-friendly.

typo "documentaion" in source:build/rails-package-scripts/postinst.sh
Other than that, LGTM, thanks.
