  Latest version in the archive is 1.8.5; have a look there:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/interpreters/ruby1.8

  You'll need to have an unstable distribution in you
/etc/apt/sources.list. I don't think there is any backport for stable,
but you can try installing directly with the .debs found on the previous
page.

  Cheers !
