Hello,
(How to install foreman in Precise Ubuntu)
Here the solution to the problem reported: install an old rubygem
version on the system.

BEFORE:

/usr/share/foreman/script# gem env
RubyGems Environment:

  • RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.15
  • RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i686-linux]
  • INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.8
  • RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby1.8
  • EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/local/bin
  • RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
    • ruby
    • x86-linux
  • GEM PATHS:
    • /var/lib/gems/1.8
    • /root/.gem/ruby/1.8
  • GEM CONFIGURATION:
    • :update_sources => true
    • :verbose => true
    • :benchmark => false
    • :backtrace => false
    • :bulk_threshold => 1000
  • REMOTE SOURCES:

I tried
/usr/share/foreman/script# gem update --system 1.3.7

But of course i got this error:

ERROR: gem update --system is disabled on Debian, because it will
overwrite the content of the rubygems Debian package, and might break
your Debian system in subtle ways. The Debian-supported way to update
rubygems is through apt-get, using Debian official repositories.
If you really know what you are doing, you can still update rubygems
by setting the REALLY_GEM_UPDATE_SYSTEM environment variable, but
please remember that this is completely unsupported by Debian.

So I manually install this version from the tar ball, I follow the
instructions in

two steps:

  1. Execute
    (
    URL="http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz"
    PACKAGE=$(echo $URL | sed "s/.[^.]$//; s/^.///")

    cd $(mktemp -d /tmp/install_rubygems.XXXXXXXXXX) &&
    wget -c -t10 -T20 -q $URL &&
    tar xfz $PACKAGE.tgz &&
    cd $PACKAGE &&
    sudo ruby setup.rb
    )

  2. update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gem gem /usr/bin/gem1.8 1

AFTER

/usr/share/foreman/script# gem env
RubyGems Environment:

  • RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.7
