Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ruby1.9.1
Some people may opt to install ruby1.9.1 because it provides ruby1.9.2 which is known to be faster in benchmarks than Ruby1.8 however, it came a surprise today when I installed ruby1.9.1 on a production system and it provided gem which is highly unrecommended because Ubuntu disables --system updates and even worse does not update fast enough.
