In my humble opinion, if a package should declare to break ruby1.8, it should be the one which dropped support for it (ruby-debian, in the present case). But I am not even convinced that "Breaks" is the correct relationship: after all, the problem was not that ruby1.8 was installed (some other packages may still specifically depend on ruby1.8, until the ruby1.8-removal transition is completed); the problem was that ruby1.8 was set as the system-wide default Ruby interpreter. This may be set automatically, but also manually decided by the sysadmin (root)... A hopefully general solution is currently being investigated on the debian-ruby mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2014/01/msg00007.html I am keeping this bug report open for the time being, but I am under the impression that nothing should change on apt-listbugs side. As a consequence, I may decide to close it (or reassign it to ruby-debian), sooner or later.
