rubygems need a tool calles auto_gem that is bundled with rubygems. so to install the package you need to have it first. too bad, that auto_gem has been removed in newer version so you first need to install rubygems-0.9.2 which is the last version with this tool and then you can upgrade to the latest version... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C rubygems 2. emerge rubygems # will fail because of missing auto_gem 3. env-update && source /etc/profile # as advised by the emerge -C action 4. emerge rubygems # still fails 5. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge =rubygems-0.9.2 # works, installs auto_gem 6. emerge rubygems # works now because auto_gem is now present, but with upgrading we're removing auto_gem again... Actual Results: emerging fails, see steps to reproduce Expected Results: emerge rubygems should work right away

where does that come from and why? automatically removing it when installing a new version would be a nice thing to do, wouldn't it?
