When installing foreman on debian I was getting the following error: Setting up foreman (1.2.0+debian2) ... D020000: trigproc_activate_packageprocessing pkg=foreman D000002: fork/exec /var/lib/dpkg/info/foreman.postinst ( configure ) dpkg: error processing foreman (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 5 When running /var/lib/dpkg/info/foreman.postinst manually in DEBUG it gave: Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb extconf.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError) from extconf.rb:1 Gem files will remain installed in /usr/share/foreman/vendor/ruby/1.8/gems/json-1.8.0 for inspection.
