[chef] Re: Re: rubygems/format (LoadError)

According to `gem list rubygems-update -r -a`, version 1.8.25 is the last one before 2.0.

To downgrade to that, do `gem update --system 1.8.25`. You can also use that command to upgrade from older rubygems without going all the way to 2.0 (assuming you're not starting from a version of ruby gems that's too old to have that feature--I don't remember when it was added).

HTH,

I do not need the latest! Whoops. Is there a way to go back to the last rubygems < 2.0 ?

I updated three of my boxes to the latest rubygems and chef (11.4.0) and now I'm getting the following missing package error:

I've confirmed that I have rubygems/format.rb

# locate rubygems/format.rb

/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubygems-update-1.8.24/lib/rubygems/format.rb

The question becomes, why isn't chef able to find it?

Other specs that may or may not be helpful:

The latest ruby gems is 2.0, which has breaking changes. If you really really need ruby gems 2.0, you can build from this branch: https://github.com/opscode/chef/pull/654
