Problem installing ruby

[nickrodin]

When I attempt to install ruby I get the following error:

% sudo apt-get install ruby
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ruby is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ruby has no installation candidate

I am running 7.10 with all updates and have enabled the universe repository.
