Mmmh, no wait, ruby1.8 no longer provides ruby-interpreter (and this is good, since now packages depending on "ruby | ruby-interpreter" will pull in ruby1.9.1), but /usr/bin/ruby1.8 still seems to be a possible alternative for /usr/bin/ruby ... I am under the impression that this means it's still possible to find oneself with a broken ruby-debian: if root manually installed ruby1.8 and ruby1.9.1 and manually set /usr/bin/ruby1.8 as the alternative for /usr/bin/ruby, I think the upgrade ruby1.8 1.8.7.358-9 → 1.8.7.358-10 won't alter the alternatives and apt-listbugs will fail to run. Antonio, please correct me if I am wrong. Is there a way to declare that /usr/bin/ruby1.8 is no longer a valid alternative for /usr/bin/ruby ? Should the ruby1.8.postinst run update-alternatives --remove ruby /usr/bin/ruby1.8 or something like that? I am reassigning this bug report to ruby1.8, but I am not yet closing or merging it, since there is this last doubt to be clarified. Antonio, please let me know.
