Package: ruby2.3
Version: 2.3.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Some packages, in particular vim-addon-manager, depend on
"ruby | ruby-interpreter" and assume that this means that /usr/bin/ruby always
exists, however ruby2.3 provides ruby-interpreter but does not provide
/usr/bin/ruby.

I'm not sure if this is the fault of ruby2.3 itself or vim-addon-manager so I've
filed opposite versions of this bug report against both packages. (a link to the
other bug will be added once I have it.)

This can, of course, be mitigated by installing the ruby metapackage, however I
had removed it during the ruby 2.2 -> 2.3 transition as there was a time when
both versions were installed but nothing explicitly depended on version 2.2.

Thanks,

Julian Calaby
