Hi,
I have a bug that I can reproduce. On a Debian Lenny (up-to-date), I have this error if I update rubygems to 1.5

Undefined method `load_yaml' for Gem:Module

I've attached a screenshot (passenger error) with the full backtrace, …

I've updated it with 'rubygems_update'.
If I revert back to 1.3.7 or 1.4.1, it works. If I update again to 1.5, it fails.

Let me know If there is some more information that I can give to be more specific and useful.

    What does gem env say?

    What does ruby -rubygems -e 'p Gem::VERSION; begin Gem.load_yaml; rescue; end' say?

    I got this same error, but restarting apache resolved it. I assume the same would apply for nginx.

    oops, that second one should be ruby -rubygems -e 'p Gem::VERSION; Gem.load_yaml'

    I've attached what you've asked for, with 1.4.1 and with 1.5.0

    Looks like you need to restart your running applications to move them to rubygems 1.5

    I'm pretty sure I did this, and the Passenger error seems to imply that they can't start. Am I wrong ? Anyway, I'll give it another try.

    Well, I guess I was wrong. I've upgraded rubygems, then I restarted Apache (and not touched tmp/restart.txt in my apps) and everything seems to be OK.

    Thanks for the help.
