Reproducable on two different pc's. 

The only strange thing on my setup is probably having every gem in
~/.gem. (There are none in /usr/local/...).

Steps I took to get this situation:
  1. Ubuntu Karmic (shouldn't make a difference)
  2. Installed ruby from  ruby-1.9.1-p243.tar.gz
  3. Problems with gem versions in many packages
  4. Installed rubygems-1.3.5.tgz
  5. Problems still occur 
  6. Installed rubygems from trunk (svn)
  7. Problems still occur

  And I found out (step 7) that the gem_prelude is used from ruby in step 2.

  After that I got ruby from git and created the patch.

  I'll try to remove all ruby packages and reinstall (step 2) just to
  make sure...

  Let me know if there is anything else you wan't me to check.
