I'm trying to install ruby on rails and I can't seem to install libopenssl-ruby. I'm on a VPS and I've installed Jaunty as the newer releases don't seem to work very nicely. When I do:

apt-get install libopenssl-ruby

I get:

E: Package libopenssl-ruby has no installation candidate

Originally it simply said that it couldn't find the package but after wget'ing a deb form here: http://linuxappfinder.com/package/libopenssl-ruby and trying to install using dpkg I get this new error. Dpkg itself said that it couldn't install my deb as it depended on 'libopenssl-ruby'.

Currently my sources.lst is this:

###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe    multiverse

Does anyone know what might be wrong?

I know about pinning packages with APT; that's not what I want to do. Other questions have been answered with either using pinning or by using pins temporarily. I don't want to do this... What I want to do is keep packages back the same way the kernel has been: # apt-get upgrade Reading package… >>> More
