~$ dpkg -l ruby1.8
ruby1.8 1.8.2-9ubuntu1 Interpreter of object-oriented scripting lan
~$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.3 (2005-06-23) [i486-linux]
I've read several places that this is a CVS version.
"When I pulled the Ruby package out of Breezy and built it, it was a 1.8.3 CVS
build. This is yet another pre-release package. I don't think the updated Ruby
package has made it to backports yet. I've been checking every couple of hours
now. If and when the package does make it into backports I hope and pray that
it's a 1.8.2 stable build and not something that was thrown together out of CVS
like what I've already seen."
