Bug Description

Binary package hint: sisu

When installing sisu, the package installation fails with the following message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  sisu: Depends: ruby (< 1.9) but 4.1 is to be installed

Isn't Ubuntu's Ruby "4.1" actually v1.8.x -- thus, isn't the dependency met (as I have the "ruby" package installed on Hardy)?

I'm sorry, it's valid for intrepid too.

There is no reason to upload the fix for intrepid as it is already fixed, your fix is useless because 4.2 (the ruby version in this moment) >= 1.8.2, so there is no reason to upload it. Also your SRU fix should have hardy-proposed as distribution and ubuntu0.1 as revision number. I'm unsubscribing u-u-s.

From sisu 0.62.0 release notes:
    ruby 1.9, for present time retain restriction on running and testing sisu
    with ruby 1.9, there are still issues with 1.9 (at the C stack level, and
    probably some in sisu compatibility/updating as well)

Even if this change should be sane enough, could you please test if there are issues?
