I think that I have understood what's happening :
- rubygems 0.9.5 includes dependencies during installation by default 
now
- when I first install ruby-debug-base locally (without -l), it works as 
this gem has no dependency on other gems
- then when I tried to install ruby-debug-ide locally (again without 
-l), it fails as it seems that rubygems tries to install the required 
dependency (ruby-debug-base) remotely and not locally.

Forcing the local installation with -l solves my problem.

This raises two issues :
1- rubygems seems to not take care of gems that are already installed 
(during the dependency checking)
2- rubygems should try to install dependency gems locally before 
remotely.

Cheers.
