[Rock-dev] Autoproj apt-get bug

[Charles Lesire-Cabaniols]

I have not the exact error and cannot reproduce it right now (it happened
to one of my students actually).
But the apt-get command was returning an error (then stopping the
bootstrap), while trying to get packages related to ruby (ruby18-dev, irb
and others ; my students had only installed ruby18).
