How can I uninstall Ruby on ubuntu?

Question

How can I uninstall Ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-07-02) [i486-linux] on ubuntu? Need to reinstall - please help

Answer 1

On Lubuntu, I just tried apt-get purge ruby* and as well as removing ruby, it looks like this command tried to remove various things to do with GRUB, which is a bit worrying for next time I want to reboot my computer. I can't yet say if any damage has really been done.
