[DRE-maint] Bug#403407:

[Renaud Morvan]

There is another issue related to this situation in current stable etch.

Gems bin are located in /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/ which means that they  
can't be accessed easily with sudo which seems to be compiled with  
secure-path that hardcode PATH env variable

It leads to buggy situation with some popular gems:
	if you install gems like mongrel (as the vast majority of ruby on  
rails users do) you can't start the server under another identity  
than yours without using the full path. Can't start the provided  
init.d script for mongrel cluster ...
	And "normal user" that don't know about the sudo security stuff just  
get "command not found" => headache

As long as this package will ghetto the gems bin in some exotic  
folder, I fear that compiling rubygems will remains mainstream as  
it's not worst than symlinking to /usr/local/bin :/

I understand that the scope of this situation is wider than that,  
that's much more about the compatibility between gems and apt-get

Hope that one day I'll be able to be an happy debian rubyist :)
