rbot is uninstallable due to dependecy on "ruby" << 1.9

[Efrain Valles]

rbot fails to install on Ubuntu Hardy

Depends: ruby (< 1.9) but 4.1 is to be installed.

This may be related to the recent update of Ruby through a sync...

[Efrain Valles (effie-jayx)]

I have fixed it. The dependency issue is explained thoroughly in the Debian bug report.

"ruby switched to a versioning scheme which avoids confusing with the
"real" ruby version. Please Depend on ruby1.8 explicitly if you need
that specific version."

I attach debdiff

rbot (0.9.10-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:

    + render 03_refs_install_rb patch obsolete

  * Fixed build-depends: several packages where needed at clean time,
    then split -Indep.

    don't waste your time sending crappy reports to the BTS, this will
    end up to WONTFIX flagging, thanks).
  * Disabled tinyurl and urban plugins: depends not available in Debian.
  * Added new recommands:

    + fortune-mod | fortune: used in fortune plugin
  * Updated README.Debian plugins information.
