Upgrade of devel/rubygem-sprockets to 2.10.1 breaks www/rubygem-rails

[Paul Mather]

I upgraded my packages on RELENG_9 via poudriere recently and discovered that www/rubygem-rails is now broken.  It appears the cause of the breakage is the upgrade of devel/rubygem-sprockets to 2.10.1.  The latter upgrade breaks www/rubygem-actionpack, whose gemspec depends upon V2.2.X of sprockets.  The current version of sprockets fails to satisfy this dependency, causing Rails to fail to start:

Note that the gem spec dependency of "~> 2.2.1" is not the same semantics as the ports Makefile dependency of "rubygem-sprockets>=2.2.1:${PORTSDIR}/devel/rubygem-sprockets".  The latter will be satisfied by rubygem-sprockets-2.10.1 whereas the former will not.

Cheers,

Paul.
