That's fine, but doesn't explain why a conflict is needed. *libruby1.8* seems to coexist with libdevel-logger-ruby1.8 without any problems at all; there are no conflicting file paths, and no problems I can see that result from having two logger.rb files in the ruby include path, given that they should be functionally equivalent. > If libruby1.8 already provides this functionality, then it should > remove the old (and wrong) one. "Should" doesn't really explain why you marked this bug as critical. I'm trying to understand what's actually broken here. > >>Also, if this packages remains in upgrades to etch, some rails > >>applications > >>do not work. > >Why? > Because it has an file called application.rb, that gets in the way of > rails application.rb. Stupid classload issues. Ok, but *that* is an incompatibility between rails and libdevel-logger-ruby1.8, it has nothing to do with libruby1.8 itself. Since this is the only real problem I see, I'm reassigning this bug report to rails; if you can explain how the lack of a conflict breaks ruby as a whole, we can clone this bug back to ruby1.8 as well.
