I wouldn't recommend to proceed. Although there probably is no risk damaging your system by installing ruby-dev, I can't take any responsibility ;) Maybe a look into https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues will give you a clue (especially https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/1264). BTW is your system up to date? apt update? apt upgrade?

The official tar.bz2 is really easy to install, I mean it makes no sense to download a *.deb file from a website. IMO it will make sense only if Fricas can be installed by "sudo apt install fricas" (including removal/update).
