Gem install error on Ubuntu 12.04 when specifying the version about puppet-r10k HOT 8 CLOSED

Same in CentOS 6.5 but the error is
could not finc valid gem ''
if I do a gem install r10k it works perfectly.
Thanks

To get around the could not find valid gem '' error set the install_options param to something other than --no-rdoc --no-ri, for instance when testing '--debug' seems to fix it.

class { 'r10k':
  version           => 'present', # Changed to get round version issue
  sources           => {
    ...
  },
  ...
  install_options   => '--debug', # to fix finding '' gem
}

This doesn't solve the issue it is just a temp work around.

Sorry for the dumb question.
When you write:
version => 'present', # Changed to get round version issue
you mean
version => '1.2.1', # Changed to get round version issue
or we need to write "present"

This sounds like a bug in the puppet gem provider

@seb-github any update on this, I have one other bug as referenced but I can't reproduce? i.e. the other reference includes the puppet bug that I thought this was as well.

#74 looks like the same problem to me, was using Puppet v3.6 when getting the error but puppet ticket: #13397 was for 2.7 so that problem shouldn't exist in this version (well hopfully) I will re-try next week and see if I work out which bits messing up. It does look like a problem in the puppet gem provider I agree.

@acidprime fyi I am also seeing this on CentOS 6.5 with POSS 3.7.1. I also found that changing the install options to --debug from --no-ri --no-rdoc worked around the problem. Sounds like a gem provider issue, will start digging through JIRA. :p

This I believe acidprime@22fd541 should fix this behavior closing for now
