Subject: Ruby ri does not display core docs - is it a bug or do I miss a package?

I have installed Ruby and the Ruby-doc package (and also some other doc
packages related to Ruby gems). However, ri does not work for core
packages. Example:
$ ri String
= String < Object
(from gem bigdecimal-1.3.2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= Instance methods:
to_d
(from gem rake-11.3.0)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= Instance methods:
ext, pathmap, pathmap_explode, pathmap_partial, pathmap_replace
We can see that String related methods from the gems are displayed, but
not what is in the core package. Similarily:
$ ri 'String#length'
Nothing known about String#length
Is this a bug?
