Public bug reported:
Release of Ubuntu: Vivid, Trusty
Package Version: ruby1.9.1
Expected Results: vim-nox or any other program who depends on libruby should
install the library but not the whole ruby programming language
Actual Results: vim-nox install ruby since it depends on libruby and libruby
depends on ruby
According to:
ruby1.9.1 (1.9.3.484-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* new strategy for Ruby version transitions:
- ruby1.9.1 depends on ruby
- libruby1.9.1 depends on ruby1.9.1
* Drop alternatives entries.
libruby1.9.1 now depends on ruby1.9.1. This causes than installations of
packages such us vim-nox (who depends on libruby) pull the whole ruby
programming language.
In my opinion it shouldn't be this way (unless the transition fixes some
important bugs). It could be suggested but not forced. vim-nox also
depends on liblua and its installation doesn't pull the Lua programming
language into the system.
