Hi,
i have the file hhvacation-0.0.1.gem my current dir and try to update with'gem update' to hhvacation-0.0.2.gem from rubygems.org.
gem is always using the hhvacation-0.0.1.gem file and the update is not happening.
Bug or feature?

   Use gem update -r to only update from remote gems. Local gems are preferred if available.

   Sorry to say that gem update (with or without -r) is not working, if you have an older gem in the current directory.

   # ls
   hhvacation-0.0.1.gem

   Great, keeping it open in the bug tracker instead of here.
