One other thing I noticed is that ruby_select does not declare any dependency on any ruby, which surprised me a bit. But python does not require any python either. There is probably some reasoning behind this. I would like to learn more about the this. These two behaviours together, though, leave users in the situation where they install ruby_select, then issue sudo ruby_select ruby186 which does not complain, but there won't be a usable ruby afterwards, only a couple of symlinks pointing into the nowhere. At least I was surprised at first about this, and others may be as well.
