gem --version
1.6.0

sudo gem update --system 1.6.1 --no-rdoc --no-ri
Latest version currently installed. Aborting.

sudo gem update --system --no-rdoc --no-ri
...

gem --version
1.6.1

I can go down from 1.6.1 to 1.6.0 with --system 1.6.0, but not up from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1 ...

   Have you tried just:

   gem update --system

   That should upgrade to latest 1.6.1 automatically.

   @Luis

   Yes, I have, and it works. But I want to nail down the version of rubygems, as we've had failed deploys because occasionally a rubygems update breaks some gem.

   So, can I report this as a bug somewhere ? Because as it is, we need to use a workaround to get it working.

   Closing this out since you made a bug, but Eric couldn't reproduce it:
