Did you find a quick fix for this bug?

just:

$ gem install rubygems-update -v='1.4.2'
$ gem uninstall rubygems-update -v='1.5.0'
$ update_rubygems

basically, keep the previous version, then run 'update_rubygems' to reinitialize.

seems to have done the trick.

Thanks! You saved my life.

@davidjdavis: Thank you very much! Saved my life too!
( I know this post from this link: http://excid3.com/blog/2011/02/undefined-local-variable-or-method-version_requirements-for-nameerror/)

I ran into this problem after I created a gemset in rvm for my Rails 2.3.5 app. davidjdavis' update_rubygems suggestion didn't work for me. I used Bundler to configure the gems on the app and that eliminated the Rails::GemDependency problem.

This issue can be resolved by editing Rails 'environment.rb' file.
Please visit the link http://www.redmine.org/issues/7516#note-3

Thank you. Quite helpful.

Can you please help me to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot. Got this link after 2 long days of battle with this issue and the above commands seem to have done the trick.

PS. THANK YOU. I had this same problem... glad I only had it for about 1 hour :)

Thank you!

This is continuing to help people, cough me. Thanks.

thanks for this, somehow I was missing the final 'update_rubygems' call, thanks for the post

Four years later, it helped me. Thanks!
