Subject: Re: Erubis 2.6.1 released - Rails 2.1 support

This doesn't install for me, at least on Windows.

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EINVAL)
    Invalid argument - 
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/erubis-2.6.1/lib/erubis/co
nverter.rb:

There's this (bogus?) file called "converter.rb:" (colon at the end) 
that ruins everything prematurely.  It's a 0-byte file and I believe 
it's unneeded and doesn't belong.

This is causing me a lot more grief than expected.  A lot of other gems 
I am trying to install (merb, for example) depend on erubis and despite 
the fact that I have erubis 2.6.0 installed, every gem keeps keeps 
trying to install 2.6.1.  If I --ignore-dependencies that causes crucial 
parts of the gem(s) to not get installed.  I tried fixing it myself by 
removing convert.rb: but for some reason that ruins the gem and then I 
can't install it at all.  Any help would be appreciated.

(Is there a way to install a gem while ignoring only a specific 
dependency?)
