Also I tried to install this rpm via yum on a box with no ruby and the only thing it pulled in was a ruby lib, doesnt it still need ro Require: ruby not just ruby(abi)= 1.8??
It's a little weird at first, but ruby(abi) is provided by ruby-libs; that package is enough if you just want to embed ruby in another program. The ruby package adds the command line interpreter (/usr/bin/ruby) - unless ruby-bdb depends on that, you don't need to require ruby. Presumably packages that contain scripts using ruby-bdb will make sure that /usr/bin/ruby is installed.
