merb turns 10 and started driving me crazy
As you may already know, Merb turned 1.0 a while ago and I decided to resume my studies to learn the framework.
So I just built a new app with a few resources and fired the migration scripts:
$ rake db:automigrate
And this is what I got:
Loading init file from /Users/leo/projects/merb/my-first-app/config/init.rb

Lovely, isn't it?
After a fair amount of googling around it turns out that there seems to be a problem with the URI parser Merb uses underneath, called Addressable.
As of the installation of Merb 1.0, the installed version of this library was 2.0.0.
The solution? Install a older Addressable version:
$ sudo gem uninstall addressable
You have requested to uninstall the gem:
addressable-2.0.0
dm-core-0.9.6 depends on [addressable (>= 1.0.4)]
data_objects-0.9.6 depends on [addressable (>= 1.0.3)]
If you remove this gems, one or more dependencies will not be met.
Continue with Uninstall? [Yn] Y

I haven't figured out the reason for this issue, so please do share if you know. I'll be glad to update the post. :)
