You're probably misunderstanding how this works in Debian, let me explain: Installing ruby1.9.1 gives you /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1. Installing ruby2.0 gives you /usr/bin/ruby2.0. Installing ruby2.1 gives you /usr/bin/ruby2.1.
The "ruby" package is merely a package that points /usr/bin/ruby to one of those from above; installing ruby2.0 or 2.1 doesn't change where /usr/bin/ruby points to. This is similar to the python packages. Now 14.04 apparently froze at a time where jessie was in the middle of the transition from 1.9 to 2.0. (A similar thing would apply today: jessie already has ruby2.1, but /usr/bin/ruby is still 2.0.) I don't know if Ubuntu has dedicated resources to ruby or not, but I doubt they can still change this for 14.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310292 Title: installing `ruby2.0` results in ruby 1.9.3-p484 as default version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby2.0/+bug/1310292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
