@ Armin: you install to 'apt-get install ruby' Hi Debian-Ruby,
The bug report below is interesting. The user has ruby1.8 installed, that provides ruby-interpreter. As a result, h-c-i-h Depends' line is satisfied: Depends: ruby | ruby-interpreter, ruby-debian, ruby-json However, since ruby-debian no longer has support for ruby1.8, h-c-i-h can't use ruby1.8. I'm not sure of how to address this situation. For now, I'll just drop |ruby-interpreter. But the overall handling of dependencies when switching Ruby versions seems fragile. And there are 578 occurences of "Depends: ruby | ruby-interpreter" in the archive, which scares me a bit. Maybe ruby-defaults should provide a symlink to the default ruby version that we could use in shebangs (#!/usr/bin/ruby-debian-default)? That would allow to ensure that hcih really runs with ruby1.9.3 even if the user used update-alternatives to switch to another version.
