I think that this issue, as well as jan's, happen when there is a mixup 
between ruby 1.8 and ruby 1.9 on a single autoproj installation.

Run

    head $(which autoproj)

Does the top line show ruby 1.8 or ruby 1.9 ?

The issue I had in the past is that the Debian alternatives that govern 
which ruby we are using can "change" without warning depending on which 
packages get installed/updated. I think we will have to add some guards 
on an autoproj installation, to make sure that autoproj bails out if the 
ruby version / ruby setup "changed".

Yes. There are some things in this autoproj version that are required 
before we can tell people "go for 1.9". But my goal is to advertise ruby 
1.9 support after this autoproj is out and some osdeps cleanup has been 
merged. We will have to phase ruby 1.8 support out gradually.
