ruby port won't uninstall, or install

[flowctrl]

Thanks Kevin;

$ sudo port -v contents ruby
Port ruby does not contain any file or is not active.

$ sudo mv /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts/ruby /tmp/
$ sudo port installed | grep ruby
$ sudo port -v install ruby

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i686-darwin8.8.1]

Cheers!
