Subject: Re: How to upgrade to Ruby1.8-3?

You'll probably need
   apt-get -t testing install ruby1.8

The stable version of the package has ruby 1.8.2, testing is 1.8.3.

Also worth noting that the stable package is 1.8.2-7sarge2, so it's
been patched twice and may have the security hole covered.. (I've not
read the release notes).
