[DRE-maint] Bug#549435: Bug #549435: libgsl-ruby: FTBFS: error: 'GSL_CONST_CGSM_GAUSS' undeclared

[Daniel Moerner]

Hi,

In upstream libgsl, version 1.13, the GSL_CONST_CGSM_GAUSS symbol was
removed. The attached patch fixes the problem. The correct solution is
to remove the reference to the symbol entirely, as upstream says the
value of the constant wasn't reliable.

I'm a member of pkg-ruby-extras; if you don't object then a week from
now I will commit the patch to the repo and make an upload through one
of the DD's in the team.

I also intend to fix the outstanding lintian warnings against the
package in this upload, if you don't make it first. The patch that fixes
them is attached (yes, the Section: fix was already made by Gunnar in svn).

Regards,
Daniel
