Loading pry-byebug on Archlinux fails with "cannot load such file -- irb"

Originally reported here with detailed steps to reproduce.

In short:

$ echo > Gemfile << EOF
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem 'pry-byebug', '~> 3.9.0''
EOF
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec ruby -e "require 'pry-byebug'"

This is probably specific to Archlinux. I'm not sure if irb should be loaded in this case?

Hi!

I actually reported this at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62709, and it was fixed by https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/?h=packages/ruby&id=9ce9e857b3de73fd09ff0b5878577c2591351016. Not sure what the release schedule for that change is, since I've never used archlinux.

Anyways, this is a 3rd party issue, and it's already fixed, so closing!
