  • Thread-topic: postflight script failed

[Trying again using different return address...]

I think the problem may lie in the first line of the script.
("#! /usr/bin/env ruby")
You don't specify a full path to the ruby interpreter.

You also don't appear to be modifying the environment with the /usr/bin/env
invocation, so why go through that?  Why not just set the first line to
"#!/usr/bin/ruby" ?
