Unfortunately it's a little hard for me to understand the problem you
are having. Specially because you are mixing stable, testing and
unstable in a single system, it's kind of hard figuring out what's going
on there.

Can you please describe a reproducible test case? I just tried two
upgrade scenarios and both worked for me:

0) install ruby on wheezy, full upgrade to sid

1) install ruby on wheezy, update sources.list to sid, upgrade only ruby

Bug#741733: Circular dependencies cause trouble when doing upgrade

2014-03-16 Thread Juhapekka Tolvanen

Package: ruby
Version: 1:1.9.3.4
Severity: serious

I try to upgrade ruby from version 1:1.9.3 to version 1:1.9.3.4 .
Aptitude refuses to do it, because I must install ruby1.9.1 version >=
1.9.3.194-1 . I try to be sure and install version 1.9.3.484-2 . It
depends on ruby version >= 1:1.9.3.1 . Only 1:1.9.3.4 is available.
This is the first circular dependency.

ruby1.9.1 version 1.9.3.484-2 also depends on libruby1.9.1 version =
1.9.3.484-2 . I try to install it, but it is not possible, because it
depends on ruby1.9.1 version = 1.9.3.484-2 . But I already was unable
to install that, as I said before.

No matter how many times I go to dependency of some package I try to
install, I end up to same packages again and again and because they
refuse to install, because their dependencies are not yet installed,
and those dependencies refuse to install and so on, so on, ad nauseam,
ad infinitum.
