Subject: Re: Ri bug in new 1.8.2 release

After coming back with a fresher mind, it does seem to be a simple
duplication.  If I rename the /usr/share/ri/1.8/site directory, all
works well.  (with the exception of the lost site docs)

Unless I'm mistaken, this pretty much means that ri doesn't seem to
handle name clashes that well.  When I install gems, I have it
generating does with --ri-site.  Apparently, this is the cause of the
breakage and the root of the error msg I'm getting.

Advice on how to make this stuff happily coexist would be most
welcome.  Am I naively doing something silly?  I think both ri and
gems are fantastic, and I'm sure there has to be a way.

Thanks.

Cameron
