Hi, On a freshly installed Dapper: $ apt-cache show ruby Version: 1.8.2-1 $ apt-cache show ruby1.8 Version: 1.8.4-1ubuntu1 Shouldn't the version of the ruby package be 1.8.4-1? This certainly made me hesitate before installing, as I understood Dapper shipped with 1.8.4. Regards, Jon -- http://www.snowblink.co.uk/
