I had been running ruby 1.8.6 for some time now with the packages at 
versions 1.8.7 and it had not caused any problems. That particular 
update must have caused a conflict somewhere that was just never exposed 
up till now.

Fortunately, I solved the issue by downgrading the offending packages to 
1.8.6 compatible versions. I manually downloaded the packages from the 
jaunty updates repository as they are not available in the intrepid 
repos.

When I installed the 1.8.6 versions of libruby and libopenssl-ruby, 
everything worked fine.

thank you for highlighting the version incompatibility. The underlying 
cause was that I am using a manual 1.8.6 installation of ruby rather 
than the 1.8.7 version that is supplied by the intrepid repos.

All works now and I still have a thick head of hair!

thanks
