Hi.

I've installed Ubuntu Dapper in my desktop. To my disappoint it doesn't
have ruby preinstalled. That's still okay, because I can do it by myself.

I've apt-get install ruby. Then, I've apt-get install irb1.8 because I've
installed
ruby1.8. Surprisingly, irb command did not work. It turned out that I also
have to apt-get install irb to run irb command.

I can't figure out why things are working in this way. Does it make sense
to apt-get twice just for irb? Or is this my own problem and not of ubuntu
packages?

If it's true that we have to apt-get install irb irb1.8 just for irb
command,
is there any way to fix such a non-intuitive installation procedure?

Sincerely,
Minkoo Seo
