Title:
  libruby1.9.1 shouldn't install ruby  - remove ruby1.9.1

Status in notmuch package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ruby1.9.1 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ruby1.9.1 package in Debian:
  Fix Released
Status in ruby2.1 package in Debian:

Bug description:
  Release of Ubuntu: Vivid, Trusty
  Package Version: ruby1.9.1
  Expected Results: vim-nox or any other program who depends on libruby should install the library but not the whole ruby programming language
  Actual Results: vim-nox install ruby since it depends on libruby and libruby depends on ruby

  According to:

                 ruby1.9.1 (1.9.3.484-2) unstable; urgency=medium

                   * new strategy for Ruby version transitions:
                     - ruby1.9.1 depends on ruby
                     - libruby1.9.1 depends on ruby1.9.1
                   * Drop alternatives entries.

  libruby1.9.1 now depends on ruby1.9.1. This causes than installations
  of packages such us vim-nox (who depends on libruby) pull the whole
  ruby programming language.

  In my opinion it shouldn't be this way (unless the transition fixes
  some important bugs). It could be suggested but not forced. vim-nox
  also depends on liblua and its installation doesn't pull the Lua
  programming language into the system.
