Please let me clarify: apt-listbugs depends on "ruby | ruby-interpreter" and that's correct. It works fine with both ruby1.8 and ruby1.9.1, as long as the required libraries support the chosen Ruby interpreter. The fact is that ruby1.8 is deprecated and no longer supported upstream: there's an ongoing transition to remove it from Debian. Architecture-dependent Ruby libraries (such as ruby-debian) are being recompiled without support for ruby1.8: that's the reason why apt-listbugs stopped working with ruby1.8. In order to fix this situation, ruby1.8 no longer provides "ruby-interpreter", so that packages like apt-listbugs will pull in some other Ruby interpreter (such as ruby1.9.1). This has already been implemented in ruby1.8/1.8.7.358-10 As I have already said, I think there's one last aspect to fix: ruby1.8 should remove itself from the list of possible alternatives for /usr/bin/ruby.

You're welcome, I am glad that the issue is fixed for you.
