[Solved] IRB (Ruby interpreter) doesn't work anymore out of the box

Hi there,

has anyone experience this issue after an update of the ruby interpreter?

#: irb

Oky, solved by explicitly installing ruby-rdoc.  I guess this should be made an automatic dependency of the interpreter.

Confirmed.  You can fix this by installing ruby-rdoc.  This would appear to be a packaging bug.  You could check whether this has already been reported on the bug tracker, and if not open an issue for it there.  It appears that ruby-rdoc should be a dependency of ruby-irb.

EDIT: cross posted with the above - I see you figured as much.
