I tried this and got:

root@dylan:/home/ivan # apt-get install rails
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
rails: Depends: rake but it is not installable
Depends: libpgsql-ruby1.8 but it is not installable or
libmysql-ruby1.8 but it is not installable or
libdbi-ruby1.8 but it is not installable
Depends: libredcloth-ruby1.8 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

It seems that you are using Ubuntu Breezy distribution and you hav e configured the Ubuntu Hoary repository or that you have broken your apt database.

I tried it before posting (with Ubuntu Hoary) and it works.
