Same problem here, but you can install it if you download the .tar.bz2
from RubyForge and package it yourself.
http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/37947/erubis-2.6.1.tar.bz2

Just extract it somewhere, then change into the directory and do the
following:
gem build erubis.gemspec
gem install --local erubis-2.6.1.gem
