Yeah, I had the same problem when I first upgraded to Feisty and was
tempted by Ubuntu's versions of popular ruby projects.

Here's a quick way to remove all ruby packages:
dpkg -l '*ruby*' | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' |
xargs sudo apt-get remove
But take a look at what's being removed first:
dpkg -l '*ruby*' | grep ^ii

Not manual; should be automatically set up by gem install. (It
creates executables in /usr/bin or /bin or /usr/X11R6/bin ...)
