Gem add_dependency failing

[Matt Mower]

Hi,

I am about to release a newer version of Bishop which depends upon the
Stemmer gem. At the end of my Gemspec I have added

s.add_dependency( "stemmer", ">= 1.0.1" )

and rebuilt the gem. I made sure Stemmer was not installed and then
tried to install the new Bishop gem using the local gem file.

According to Page 226 of PickAxe2 when attempting a local installation
of a gem where a dependency is not satisfied I should get an error:

Could not find RubyGem stemmer (>= 1.0.1)

However I am finding that it performs the local installation despite
the dependency not being satisfied and, later, if I try to require
'bishop' I get:

irb(main):001:0> require 'bishop'
Gem::LoadError: Could not find RubyGem Stemmer (>= 1.0.1)

I'm using RubyGems 0.8.10. Can anyone help me?

Matt

Fixed in CVS. I've sent it to Jim for a review. Hopefully we can
make a point release in the next few days.
