Package: how-can-i-help
Version: 18
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Running how-can-i-help outputs nothing past the initial banner, due to an undefined variable:

```
# how-can-i-help
======  How can you help?  (doc: https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help ) ======

/usr/bin/how-can-i-help:338:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `autorm_header_done' for main:Object (NameError)

    autorm_header_done == 0
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you mean?  autorm_date
```

Looking at the code following it, this should probably be:

```
autorm_header_done = 0
```

Instead.

Regards,

Which makes the package unusable, so upgrading severity accordingly

Can confirm that error message

Can confirm that that made it work (properly) again.

Thanks!

More or less. I got the error after a bug listed at
"New bugs where assistance is requested":

New bugs where assistance is requested (tagged 'help'):
 - libglib2.0-dev - https://bugs.debian.org/1070773 - libglib2.0-dev:i386 on amd64 should not require qemu-user

/usr/bin/how-can-i-help:338:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `autorm_header_done' for main:Object (NameError)

    autorm_header_done == 0
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you mean?  autorm_date

BTW, I hadn't got any error after 6 upgrades (not involving ruby) with
how-can-i-help 18, but now I get an error. It should probably have a
testsuite to be able to trigger issues under various conditions.
