«[Beginners Guide to Install Discourse on Ubuntu for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic/14727)».
I use the latest stock version of Ubuntu Desktop ([16.04.3 LTS](http://releases.ubuntu.com/xenial/)) which is unmodified, without any extra packages previously installed apart from the guide’s previous steps packages .
The `bundle exec rake autospec` guide’s step fails:
