Package: compass-susy-plugin
Version: 0.9-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Being new to Susy/Compass/Ruby but wanting to develop web pages using Susy, I installed the packages for compass and compass-susy-plugin, and then attempted to follow the web tutorials, including this one:

http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/responsive-grids-with-susy/

Somewhere in the course of doing that, I executed the command:

sudo gem install susy

The getting started page for Susy itself also instructs that:

http://susy.oddbird.net/guides/getting-started/


I ended up not being able to run any of the example demos at either site. In every case, running "compass" gave an error on any attempt at using the Susy macro/mixin called "at-breakpoint" and also other errors in the packages.

I was able to fix the problem on my system by purging the wheezy packages compass-susy-plugin, compass, and sass, and doing sudo gem installs of those packages through Ruby. After doing that, the demos worked fine. At this point my /etc/alternatives/ruby points to Ruby 1.9 and my compass script is in /usr/local/bin/compass.

As a result of the above, I don't know whether the problem I ran into was caused by bad code in compass-susy-plugin or by invoking 'sudo gem install susy' on top of it. But I do think it is a serious bug when a newbie gets something that is completely broken and undiagnosable based on just following the elementary getting started tutorials. Therefore, I think there is a bug with either compass-susy-plugin it's integration with ruby-compass package, or the integration with what happens when one runs gem install. In my case, I wasted a number of hours I would have saved if ruby-compass and compass-susy-plugin was simply not a Debian package to begin with.
