It looks like the version of rubygems in your system ruby is not compatible with the rubygems provider. This may be a regression: The stack trace is sufficient information to log a ticket [0]

As a work-around, try adding 'gem_binary /some/path/to/wherever/bin/gem' to the resource in the interim. This will force the gem provider to shell out for operations instead of using the RubyGems Ruby API.

Cheers and thanks in advance,

AJ
