Thanks for your reply, Antonio. So this will force everyone using any version of Ruby to also have the default version, no matter what... Would the following simpler strategy work as well? - any supported librubyX.Y.Z conflicts with all obsolete librubyA.B.C This should ensure that libruby1.8 (and thus ruby1.8) gets removed on upgrades, without forcing everyone to have the "ruby" package installed. Do you agree? Or does the simpler strategy have any drawback? Please let me know. Once again, thanks for your time and for the great job you are doing for Ruby in Debian! -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
