Here is our workaround which should be better than the ones proposed above (doesn't get wiped out by package upgrade / reinstall)
# Rename original out of the way, so updates / reinstalls don't squash our hack fix dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/bin/ruby.divert /usr/bin/ruby dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/bin/gem.divert /usr/bin/gem # Create an alternatives entry pointing ruby -> ruby2.0 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ruby ruby /usr/bin/ruby2.0 1 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gem gem /usr/bin/gem2.0 1 Can we get this issue re-evaluated / re-opened? IMO the "Won't Fix" assessment was premature, especially in the context of Ruby 1.9 being unsupported. -- 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
