Public bug reported:
I found this thread, but this did not fix my problem:

Apart from this, I do not understand the versioning. As you can see, I
have already installed ruby1.9.2.1. Probably changing the dependencies
in debian/control would fix the issue? Why does the "ruby" package
require an older package? And why is there a reference to ruby1.8 in the
package description?

Description: Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby (default
version)
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented
programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system
management tasks (as in
perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Ruby
version (currently v1.9.3).
