  Note there are several other showstopping RubyGems 1.3.5 bugs on Ruby
  1.9.0 in the SourceForge tracker. It's fundamentally broken and the
  RubyGems maintainers a) don't support 1.9.0 and b) clearly deprecate its
  use in Debian and Ubuntu on the grounds that it's not production ready.
  
  This looks to have been fixed in Maverick (which is currently using Ruby
  1.9.1), but on Lucid we're stuck with a broken RubyGems and a broken
  Ruby, neither of which are obvious until you take the (in my case
  considerable) time to file a RubyGems/Ruby bug.
