jruby-openssl depends on non-existent bouncy-castle-java version?

Question

I'm trying to install jruby-openssl, but it depends on a bouncy-castle-java version that doesn't appear to exist. Anybody know how to work around this?

$ gem install jruby-openssl 
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError)
    Unable to resolve dependencies: jruby-openssl requires bouncy-castle-java (>= 1.5.0147)

I tried installing an older version of jruby-openssl, but it didn't seem to help.

$ gem install jruby-openssl 0.7
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError)
    Unable to resolve dependencies: jruby-openssl requires bouncy-castle-java (>= 1.5.0147)

Answer 1

Try it

gem install redcar --both --no-force

bouncy-castle-java-1.5.0147 Will be installed too.

Answer 2

I wish I had a link for you because I don't really understand exactly what happened, but I had the same issue. I saw on Twitter that there was an issue with the 0.8.4 release. I have no idea why downgrading to 0.8.2 didn't fix it, but they've released a fix in 0.8.5 and it seems to work for me.
