DetailsDescription:
I did `pacman -Suy --ignore ruby` today (I have my own code that does not work with Ruby 2.0 yet and I want to put off upgrading until I resolve this) and it upgraded gvim to version 7.3.918-1. Now when I try to run gvim it prints the following error message and exits: gvim: error while loading shared libraries: libruby.so.2.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory It clearly requires specifically Ruby 2.0 to run and would have to be rebuilt to work with older versions (if it would work with any of them at all). The package should depend on this specific version so that user is notified about this before the upgrade, not after it. It would have spared me the trouble of hunting down a working version of vim and downgrading it. Additional info: * Arch Linux x86_64 * ruby 1.9.3_p392-1 Steps to reproduce: Install gvim 7.3.918-1 and a pre-2.0 version of Ruby and try to run vim. |

It's somewhat related to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18432 but that ticket was about vim and vim does not need to depend on ruby. This one is about gvim.
