I installed ruby using yum on RHEL 5, but then wanted to upgrade the  
version to ruby-1.8…6 using a public repos  
([http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic\_id=11821](http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11821)).

I removed ruby from the system, however, every time I go to install from  
the repos it’s trying to do an update on ruby-libs instead of install

installing:  
ruby i686  
1.8.6.111-1 ruby  
525 k  
ruby x86\_64  
1.8.5-5.el5\_2.6 rhel-x86\_64-server-5  
280 k  
Updating:  
ruby-libs i686  
1.8.6.111-1 ruby  
2.6 M

I have done a locate and ruby-libs isn’t anywhere on the system, and if  
I proceed to try and let it do an update I get “… conflicts with file  
from package ruby-libs-1.8.5-5.el5\_2.6.x86\_64”

I need to try and find/remove ruby-libs, any ideas? Thanks
