I'm building a gem that has a dependency on net-ssh. So, in the gemspec, I do: s.add_dependency 'net-ssh', '>= 1.0.2' The gem builds fine. However, when I install it, it does not try to install the dependencies, and installs just fine even if the dependencies are not met. I have verified that I do not have the net-ssh gem installed. I have also done 'gem dependency' on the new package I just installed, and it verifies that net-ssh is a dependency: Requires net-ssh (>= 1.0.2) I am using gems 0.8.10. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug? - Jamis
