[Bug 262063] Re: rubygems bin in PATH potentially breaks other applications and violates all sense of decency in packaging.

[Eric Mill]

Rubygems is certainly broken again on Jaunty.  Behold:

$ gem list | grep rails
rails (2.3.2)

$ rails
The program 'rails' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install rails
bash: rails: command not found

This is incredibly frustrating, as a dedicated Ruby/Rails developer and
Ubuntu user.  There are many other binaries that come along with certain
gems that I want to use, and I don't want to have to symlink this stuff
myself.

Can we please find the right solution here that doesn't cause
potentially dealbreaking headaches for Rubyists trying out Ubuntu?

** Changed in: libgems-ruby (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => Invalid
