Bug Description

When running 'script/console' from any Rails application directory, the terminal window will say there is an error in the /usr/share/rails/railties/lib/commands/console.rb file on line 25: the specified file or directory was not found. This happens because the console.rb file specifies the 'irb' command on the first line, which has been replaced by irb[RUBY_VERSION] in Edgy. Simply replacing

irb = RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin32/ ? 'irb.bat' : 'irb'

with

irb = RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin32/ ? 'irb.bat' : 'irb1.8'

for Ruby 1.8 or irb1.9 for Ruby 1.9 corrects the problem.

How to reproduce:
1. Open the terminal and cd to the root of a Rails application.
2. Type script/console

The 'irb' command is provided by the irb package (separate from the irb1.8 package), which is (approriately) a 'recommends' package for rails, since most rails features will function without it.

This is a problem for my Rails Web Server.

The irb package should create a symlink in the same way that the ruby package creates a symlink for "ruby".

/usr/bin/irb -> /usr/bin/irb1.8

I am going to head over to the irb package now...
