Hi, On my pc there is debian-unsable and I've manually installed the version 1.8.2 (20041225) of Ruby because if I use apt-get there is the version 1.8.2-7 that isn't compatible with many gems. In debian there are several packages that need ruby and then to use them I need to mark ruby as installed with equivs. I've tried to write the ruby control file for equivs but I haven't found the way to mark as installed all the packages needed. Looking at the dependencies seems that the following equivs control file should be enough but it marks only the package ruby and then when I use apt-get to install any package that need ruby (art-gnome for example) it try to install libruby1.8.
**** Section: misc Priority: optional Standards-Version: 3.5.10 Package: ruby Version: 1.8.2-1 Provides: ruby, ruby1.8, libruby1.8, libreadline-ruby1.8, ruby1.8-dev, libtcltk-ruby1.8, ruby1.8-examples, libgdbm-ruby1.8, ri1.8, ruby1.8-elisp, libruby1.8-dbg, ruby1.8, libruby1.8, rdoc1.8, irb1.8, libopenssl-ruby1.8, libdbm-ruby1.8 **** Is there someone that have had the same problem? Can you send me your equivs file? Thanks in advance. Giannandrea -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
