As per the thumb rule, all your softwares should be up to date and in-sync with other tools upgrade.
But if you are getting Error in puppet after ruby upgrade like :
/usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/gem_dependency.rb:23:in `add_frozen_gem_path': undefined local variable or method `source_index' for Rails::GemDependency:Class (NameError) from /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/../config/boot.rb:47:in `load_initializer' from /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/../config/boot.rb:38:in `run' from /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/../config/boot.rb:11:in `boot!' from /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/../config/boot.rb:110 from /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/server:2:in `require' from /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/server:2

Then, just Revert the rubygem back to previous version
First try with “rpm -qa | grep rpm” command to find out the installed version ( You can also try with locate or find or grep commands)
Download the old rub version from Download RubyGems (I had used rubygems-1.3.1.tgz going through their download page)
Once downloaded, just extract the tar file inside the server with “tar -xzvf rubygems-1.3.1.tgz” command
Then just run ruby setup as mentioned below

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ = Announce: RubyGems Release 1.3.0 NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of update instructions if you see "Nothing to update". Release 1.3.0 fixes some bugs. Bugs fixed: * Disregard ownership of ~ under Windows while creating ~/.gem. Fixes issues related to no uid support under Windows. * Fix requires for Gem::inflate, Gem::deflate, etc. * Make Gem.dir respect :gemhome value from config. (Note: this feature may be removed since it is hard to implement on 1.9.) * Kernel methods are now private. Patch #20801 by Stefan Rusterholz. * Gem::location_of_caller now behaves on Windows. Patch by Daniel Berger. * Silence PATH warning. Deprecation Notices: * Gem::manage_gems will be removed on or after March 2009. For a full list of changes to RubyGems and the contributor for each change, see the ChangeLog file. Special thanks to Chad Wooley for backwards compatibility testing and Luis Lavena for continuing windows support. == How can I get RubyGems? NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package system you may want to install a new RubyGems through the same packaging system. If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all you need to do is: $ gem update --system (you might need to be admin/root) NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of update instructions if you see "Nothing to update". NOTE: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly installed rubygems-update gems. If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps: $ gem install rubygems-update (again, might need to be admin/root) $ update_rubygems (... here too) If you don't have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software ... doing it manually: 1. DOWNLOAD FROM: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE 3. INSTALL WITH: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege) == To File Bugs The RubyGems bug tracker can be found on RubyForge at: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&atid=575 When filing a bug, `gem env` output will be helpful in diagnosing the issue. If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug output. You can do that with `gem --debug the_command`. == Thanks Keep those gems coming! -- Jim & Chad & Eric (for the RubyGems team) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RubyGems installed the following executables: /usr/bin/gem If `gem` was installed by a previous RubyGems installation, you may need to remove it by hand. [root@scmquest]/local/ruby/rubygems-1.3.1# gem -v 1.3.1 [root@scmquest]/local/ruby/rubygems-1.3.1# ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2012-06-29 patchlevel 370) [x86_64-linux] [root@scmquest]/local/ruby/rubygems-1.3.1#
Thats all, you can now verify and your puppet will run without any issue
Happy learning!
