[Witold Baryluk]

Package: rubygems
Version: 1.3.5-2
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6

$ netstat -apn | grep 8118 | grep LISTEN tcp6       0      0 ::1:8118
:::*                    LISTEN      -               5123/privoxy $ grep local
/etc/hosts 127.0.0.1       localhost ::1     localhost ip6-localhost
ip6-loopback $ env | grep proxy http_proxy=http://localhost:8118
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8 $ gem install --remote sprockets ERROR:
http://gems.rubyforge.org/ does not appear to be a repository ERROR:  could not
find gem sprockets locally or in a repository $ export http_proxy= $ gem
install --remote sprockets WARNING:  Installing to ~/.gem since
/var/lib/gems/1.8 and           /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin aren't both writable.
WARNING:  You don't have /home/baryluk/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin in your PATH,

installed Installing ri documentation for sprockets-1.0.2... Installing RDoc
documentation for sprockets-1.0.2... $   It is probably not directly releated
to bug in rubygems, but i don't have enought expertise in Ruby to find which
module in Ruby is handling HTTP proxy.  If so please reassign this bug to
proper package.  Thanks You.
