Puppet users - May 2012 - install Rubygem-package on a machine without Rubygems preinstalled, "Provider gem is not functional on this host"

On a clean Debian system - without Rubygems installed - I want to install a 
Rubygem package (ruby-ldap) with Puppet. So the package has "gem" as 
package Provider. 

This is my manifest so far (I kept it simple):

    # test.pp
    Package { ensure => ''installed'' } 

    package { 
      ''rubygems'' : 
        name => ''rubygems'',
    }
    
    package {
      ''libldap-ruby1.8'' :
        name => ''libldap-ruby1.8'',
    }
    
    package { ''libldap2-dev'' : 
       name => ''libldap2-dev'', 
    }
    
    package { ''libsasl2-dev'' : 
      name => ''libsasl2-dev'', 
    }
    
    package { ''libsasl2-modules-ldap'' : 
      name => ''libsasl2-modules-ldap'', 
    }
    
    # My Rubygem, with Provider type ''gem''
    package { 
      ''ruby-ldap'' : 
        name => ''ruby-ldap'',
        provider => ''gem'',
    }
    
    Package [ ''rubygems'' ] -> Package [
''ruby-ldap'' ]
    Package [ ''libldap2-dev'' ] -> Package [
''ruby-ldap'' ]
    Package [ ''libsasl2-modules-ldap'' ] -> Package [
''ruby-ldap'' ]

When I test this manifest (with `puppet apply --noop test.pp`), I''m
getting
the following output:

    err: /Stage[main]//Package[ruby-ldap]: Provider gem is not functional 
on this host

I also tried using classes and stages (doing the rubygem install in a stage 
before the gem install) but I always got the `Provider gem`-error (but 
maybe I just used the stages in a wrong way). 

How can I install Rubygems packages on a system without Rubygems 
preinstalled?

Since I''m getting no answer here, I get the impression that installing 
Rubygems with Puppet on a system without Rubygems preinstalled is not 
possible.

Are there at least any workarounds?

This should be fixed in 2.7.8:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6907

What version are you using?

Thanks,

Nan

Thanks for the issue, now I know that there at least has been an error in 
relation to my problem. 
But its strange, as I got the error with 2.7.13.
I just retried it on another machine with 2.7.14 installed, there it works 
(successfully installed Rubygems and a Gem at once).
So I''ll just upgrade to 2.7.14.

Thanks again!
Cheers,
Ingo
