RussianNeuroMancer, I beg to differ. GetDeb offering a RubyRipper package does not fix this. GetDeb is in no way affiliated with Ubuntu, its maintenance and release record has always been erratic, to put it politely, and its repositories have been down for days or weeks in the past due to technical issues and/or lack of infrastructure funding. It's a well-intended effort, but can't be relied on.

The only real fix would be to have RubyRipper included in one the official Ubuntu repositories. I don't know why Andreas Heck's efforts have failed to achieve this. He sure did his part, and his excellent idea of splitting RubyRipper into CLI and GUI packages certainly shows that he's a competent guy.
