As I said above, this only happens if package manintainer is a slacker and a
package wasn't touched for years.
Chances that it will work with new ruby is... about 0%. Why should you auto-
add modern ruby targets for it then?
Instead, you should blame package (that causes regression) maintainer and/or
take maintenance in your hands (if you need that package), or just drop it
from your system (if not).
// Although, it is another question to discuss:
Most of time in such situations (with ruby crap mess, lol) Portage is unable
to tell which exact package is guilty in all that crap (even with --verbose-
conflicts --backtrack=100500 and so on) and you need to mask old rubys and re-
run world-upgrade to catch the one who fails because of mask. I agree that it
is not expected portage bahaviour, but I have not done deep research to write
detailed report and suggest a solutions for this problem, abd just reporting
it was useless, since, predictably, nobody cares (everybody ok with this).
That ^ is the point to discuss. But I disagree that '>=foo-1 <=foo2' stuff
should be used instead of targets.
