I think I achieved a solution: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ruby-defaults.git;a=commitdiff;h=8d8239020464f18e96c816b87cc6c7ca834a562f I tested several different cases and it always succeeds in keeping the symlinks pointing to default ruby, even if you reconfigure or reinstall ruby1.8 and ruby1.9.1. I admit that hacking /var/lib/dpkg/info/ruby{1.8,1.9.1}.postinst from ruby.postinst is not very pretty, but the situation as a whole is already not pretty. ;-) -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org>
