Hey Dradis Team,

This is actually a general question regarding ruby gems but I could not find an answer. Is it possible that a dradis plugin installs a required apt package?

Hi @fabian,

Gems (RubyGem) and APT are two different package managers that are unrelated. Gem’s can install other Gem dependencies and apt packages can install other apt dependencies but they don’t communicate in a way here apt would install a gem or a gem would install an apt package.

Hope that clears things up.

Are you troubleshooting an issue with Gem dependencies?

Hey @MattBudz,

i was afraid of this, after i couldn’t find anything about it. nvm i have removed the gem from our upload-plugin now, because i don’t use it anymore.
