I've found these previous discussions: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby1.8/+bug/145267 and http://fossplanet.com/f10/bug-448639-rubygems-fhs-compliance-debian-ubuntu-43888/ Where's the packaging and filesystem policy clash? What's the purpose of /usr/local/bin if not for stuff like this. This way gem doesn't affect apt installed software and vice versa. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706603 Title: gem1.9.1 doens't install executables on PATH -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
