Bug #12186
closed/snapshot/lib/rubygems/installer.rb:233
Description
I downloaded the nightly snapshot (https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/snapshot.tar.gz), and did:
./configure
make
sudo make install
and got:
.../snapshot/lib/rubygems/installer.rb:233:in `check_executable_overwrite': no implicit conversion of nil into String (TypeError)
The offending line installer.rb:233 looks like this,
question << existing
and the values seem to be:
question # => "rake's executable \"rake\" conflicts with "
existing # => nil
Is this a bug, or is there something wrong with my environment?
Also, I am looking forward for Ruby 2.3.1. Is there a place where the schedule for the release of teeny versions are announced? Or is it is not announced until release?

- Status changed from Open to Third Party's Issue
It seems the case a target file to be overwritten was not generated by RubyGems,
and the previous line seems to be if ruby_executable and existing
.

The place may be www.ruby-lang.org and/or ruby-talk ML. (you can find a sample on the top of www.ruby-lang.org now :-P)
But, in general, we (stable branch maintainers) can not promise the date of next release, because we can not know the timing when a critical security problem will be reported.
