Wrong way: installing gems accidentally instead of rubygems, and uninstalling

This is just embarrassing. Maybe we shouldn't post everything.

Why does gem need so much? Ugh.

Oh well.

ben@server:~$ sudo gem install --include-dependencies piston
sudo: gem: command not found

Still?

What the hell did i just do?

Ugh.

Wrong whatever.

Correct our previous mistake of installing bloat:

sudo aptitude remove gem jackd liba52-0.7.4 libasound2 libavc1394-0 libavcodec0d libdrm2 libdv4 libflac7 libfontenc1 libfs6 libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa libgsm1 libice6 libjack0.100.0-0 libmpeg3-1 libogg0 libquicktime0 libraw1394-8 libsm6 libsndfile1 libtiff4 libvorbis0a libvorbisenc2 libvorbisfile3 libxaw7 libxext6 libxfont1 libxft2 libxmu6 libxrender1 libxt6 libxxf86vm1 oss-compat puredata tcl8.4 tk8.4 ttf-bitstream-vera x-ttcidfont-conf xbitmaps xfonts-encodings xfonts-utils xterm xutils xutils-dev

We wanted to install rubygems for piston. Not gem.

Please ignore that this ever happened. Thank you.
