Foreman .DEB package fails on Debian Linux 5.0 (Lenny)
Description
The installation of the Foreman .DEB package fails on Debian Linux 5.0 (Lenny) due to an old version of rake.
The package tree for Debian Linux 5.0 contains rake 0.8.1. /usr/share/foreman/extras/dbmigrate, which is being run by the package postinst script, fails due to the old rake version:
$ su - foreman -s /bin/sh -c /usr/share/foreman/extras/dbmigrate (in /usr/share/foreman) rake aborted! undefined method `reenable' for <Rake::Task db:schema:dump => [environment]>:Rake::Task
Installing a more recent version of rake through RubyGems and linking the binary to
/usr/local/bin/rake fixes the problem.

Related patch:
Remove absolute paths from ./extras/dbmigrate and rely on a correct $PATH environment variable instead of using absolute paths which will fail if rake is not located at /usr/bin/rake (e. g. when using RubyGems rather than the distribution packages).

The package now depends on rake >= 0.8.4. Users of Debian Linux 5.0 (Lenny) will have to use the rake package from lenny-backports or install rake through RubyGems.
