tags 446232 + patch thanks The attached patch fixes the etch->lenny upgrade of libruby1.8 and libopenssl-ruby1.8. The versioned Depends and Replaces here do not provide enough of a hint for apt, but a versioned Conflicts does. I also took the opportunity to clean up the redundant Replaces in libopenssl-ruby1.8.
With this patch, the upgrade proceeds cleanly on my system by temporarily removing libopenssl-ruby1.8: Removing libopenssl-ruby1.8 ...
