Package: ruby1.8 Version: 1.8.7.358-7 Severity: important As demonstrated in Vim's last build on armel[0], ruby1.8's Provides: ruby is interfering with the selection of the ruby package from src:ruby-defaults:
… ruby: already installed (~*=PROVIDED=*=) ruby-dev: missing … Checking correctness of dependencies... … Package versions: … ruby-dev_1:1.9.3 ruby1.8_1.8.7.358-7 ruby1.9.1-dev_1.9.3.194-8.1+b1 … Since the ruby package is supposed to select the default ruby interpreter, ruby1.8 shouldn't also be providing the ruby name. The ruby-interpreter name is sufficient for packages that require an interpreter but don't care which one.
