Well, I thought you wanted to upgrade to apt-listbugs/0.1.12 ...
At least, that's what you stated in the original bug report.

But anyway...

I tested apt-listbugs/0.1.8+deb7u1 in a stable chroot environment and
it definitely seemed to work for me.
If you are experiencing any difficulty with apt-listbugs/0.1.8+deb7u1
in an up-to-date *purely* stable system, please do not hesitate to
report bugs.
Otherwise, on a mixed testing/stable system, I suspect that the issue
may be caused by the fact that ruby1.8/1.8.7.358-7.1+deb7u1 still
Provides "ruby-interpreter" and may be selected as system-wide default
Ruby interpreter, but ruby-debian/0.3.8+b2 (installed from testing) no
longer supports ruby1.8 ...


Antonio, any thoughts about this partial-upgrade scenario?
Is there a way to avoid this?
Maybe architecture-dependent Ruby libraries (such as ruby-debian)
should really conflict with libruby1.8, as soon as they drop support
for the obsolete ruby1.8 (as I initially suggested)?
Any simpler solution?
