If you had:

ruby-1.9.3.547,1

and:

ruby21-2.1.2,1

installed, ruby 1.9 was your default ruby, not 2.1.

If 2.1 was default, you would have had:

ruby-2.1.2

and perhaps:

ruby19-1.9.3.547,1

The one without the suffix in the name is the default one.

When changing the default version, you have to at least reinstall all versions
of ruby that are installed.

Ok, in that case I'm going to be unable to solve this issue, so I propose we
close this bug. Thanks for the report, if similar issues come up, I'll take a
look.
