I've problems installing rchardet, because rubygems seems to try to resolve the version 1.3 to 1.03.

$ gem install rchardet --verbose

302 Found

Falling back to local-only install
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rchardet' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR:  Possible alternatives: rchardet

Is there a way to force the version number? Or what is suggested way to handle such old gem versions?

Thanks!

   There's a possibly related bug with prereleases, gem install eventmachine --pre tries to download eventmachine-1.0.0.beta1.gemspec.rz instead of beta.1

   Could be related to this change https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/commit/57ce085060f95f44a841703...

   I'm uncertain about Eric's diagnosis. I'm unable to repro this using rubygems 1.4.2. Eg: gem fetch rchardet -v 1.3 works fine for me.

   I assume this issue is resolved.
