I have a strange bundle update issue with the dependency of net-pop.

I manually updated all gems via bundle update GEM. Everything works so far. My CI builds and tests jobs are green.

But:
When I now run bundle update, my Gemfile.lock will be changed and the dependency ‘net-protocol’ of ‘net-pop’ gets deleted. Nothing else get changed.

Gemfile.lock

Of course, my CI build job will fail with the error message:

47.64 Downloading net-pop-0.1.2 revealed dependencies not in the API or the lockfile
47.64 (net-protocol (>= 0)).
47.64 Running `bundle update net-pop` should fix the problem.

Running bundle update net-pop does not help.

The gemspec file of net-pop is correct https://github.com/ruby/net-pop/blob/master/net-pop.gemspec#L31

Currently, the only solution is to manually modify the Gemfile.lock and to re-add the missing line.

I do not understand what’s going on.

Gemfile

    Can you post a minimal Gemfile that replicates the problem?

  • @Stefan I tried to add a "minimal" Gemfile and the corresponding Gemfile.lock.

The issue is reproducible with ruby v3.3.3 only:

# Gemfile

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "net-pop", require: false

I traced it all the way up to ruby installation. net-pop is a bundled gem it gets installed with ruby, this process generates a gemspec file:

# ~/.rbenv/versions/3.3.3/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/specifications/net-pop-0.1.2.gemspec

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
# stub: net-pop 0.1.2 ruby lib

Gem::Specification.new do |s|
  s.name = "net-pop".freeze
  s.version = "0.1.2".freeze

  s.required_rubygems_version = Gem::Requirement.new(">= 0".freeze) if s.respond_to? :required_rubygems_version=
  s.metadata = { "homepage_uri" => "https://github.com/ruby/net-pop", "source_code_uri" => "https://github.com/ruby/net-pop" } if s.respond_to? :metadata=
  s.require_paths = ["lib".freeze]
  s.authors = ["Yukihiro Matsumoto".freeze]
  s.bindir = "exe".freeze
  s.date = "2024-06-12"
  s.description = "Ruby client library for POP3.".freeze
  s.email = ["[email protected]".freeze]
  s.homepage = "https://github.com/ruby/net-pop".freeze
  s.licenses = ["Ruby".freeze, "BSD-2-Clause".freeze]
  s.rubygems_version = "3.3.5".freeze
  s.summary = "Ruby client library for POP3.".freeze

  s.installed_by_version = "3.5.11".freeze if s.respond_to? :installed_by_version
end

There are two lines missing, including the dependency:

s.specification_version = 4
s.add_runtime_dependency(%q<net-protocol>.freeze, [">= 0".freeze])

When you run bundle, that file is used to lookup all the information for a gem and generate a Gemfile.lock.

Workarounds

Remove that gemspec file and run bundle update or gem install again:

rm ~/.rbenv/versions/3.3.3/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/specifications/net-pop-0.1.2.gemspec
bundle update

or from irb:

File.delete(Gem::Specification.find_by_name("net-pop").spec_file)
Gem.install("net-pop")

or uninstall it first:

gem uninstall net-pop
gem install net-pop

or @Schneems' solution that also works on Heroku:

# Gemfile

gem "net-pop", github: "ruby/net-pop"

which will recreate gemspec file correctly:

# ~/.rbenv/versions/3.3.3/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/specifications/net-pop-0.1.2.gemspec

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
# stub: net-pop 0.1.2 ruby lib

Gem::Specification.new do |s|
  s.name = "net-pop".freeze
  s.version = "0.1.2".freeze

  s.required_rubygems_version = Gem::Requirement.new(">= 0".freeze) if s.respond_to? :required_rubygems_version=
  s.metadata = { "homepage_uri" => "https://github.com/ruby/net-pop", "source_code_uri" => "https://github.com/ruby/net-pop" } if s.respond_to? :metadata=
  s.require_paths = ["lib".freeze]
  s.authors = ["Yukihiro Matsumoto".freeze]
  s.bindir = "exe".freeze
  s.date = "2022-09-28"
  s.description = "Ruby client library for POP3.".freeze
  s.email = ["[email protected]".freeze]
  s.homepage = "https://github.com/ruby/net-pop".freeze
  s.licenses = ["Ruby".freeze, "BSD-2-Clause".freeze]
  s.rubygems_version = "3.4.0.dev".freeze
  s.summary = "Ruby client library for POP3.".freeze

  s.installed_by_version = "3.5.11".freeze if s.respond_to? :installed_by_version

  s.specification_version = 4

  s.add_runtime_dependency(%q<net-protocol>.freeze, [">= 0".freeze])
end

Looks like gemspec files are part of the ruby releases, so it's just broken out of the box:
https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/releases/

/ruby-3.3.3/.bundle/specifications/net-pop-0.1.2.gemspec

Fixed in Ruby 3.3.4.

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/releases/tag/v3_3_4

Just make sure you run bundle update net-pop after upgrading to Ruby 3.3.4. This adds the net-protocol dependency in the Gemfile.lock file. Otherwise, you get the same error message.

tl;dr - this issue was fixed with ruby 3.3.4, but you need to explicitly uninstall the net-pop gem and re-run bundle update net-pop:

  1. Update to ruby 3.3.4 (make sure to update the version in your Gemfile, Dockerfile, .ruby-version, etc.)
  2. Re-install net-pop:
    1. gem uninstall net-pop
    2. bundle update net-pop

Note - this answer is simply an aggregation of the pre-existing answers, but none of those sufficiently answered my problem in and of itself, so I've posted this as a simple solution for people struggling with this in the future.

First you need to uninstall the existing gem(s) from your system:

gem uninstall net-pop

Then you need to update the gem:

bundle update net-pop

You will have a diff like

     net-pop (0.1.2)
+      net-protocol
