Bugzilla Bug 46237

The ebuild writer hardcoded ruby version 1.6 in here, so when you update ruby
to 1.8 it breaks.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ruby version 1.8
2. emerge ruby-dbi
3. ruby -wle'require "dbi"'
Actual Results:  
-e:1:in `require': No such file to load -- dbi (LoadError)
        from -e:1


Expected Results:  
load dbi

Below is a patch for the ebuild. It works for me, but I dont' really know how
the ebuilds should be laid out. You might need to fix it:

I made a patch and applied it to fix the problem. Thanks for reporting.
(FYI, you shouldn't write >=dev-lang/ruby-1.6* but >=dev-lang/ruby-1.6.
