<p>gem update --system</p>
<p>That should upgrade to latest 1.6.1 automatically.</p></div>Luis Lavenatag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/57886512011-03-07T15:44:54Z2011-03-07T15:44:54ZCan't upgrade to newer rubygems version with explicit version number<div><p>@Luis</p>
<p>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.</p></div>Martin Teppertag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/57886512011-03-09T08:56:37Z2011-03-09T08:56:38ZCan't upgrade to newer rubygems version with explicit version number<div><p>So, can I report this as a bug somewhere ? Because as it is, we
need to use a workaround to get it working.</p></div>Martin Teppertag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/57886512011-03-10T16:45:43Z2011-03-10T16:45:44ZCan't upgrade to newer rubygems version with explicit version number<div><p>Filed a bug and a possible solution here: <a href=
