[DRE-maint] Bug#631849: rubygems: Undefined method `skip_during' for Deprecated:Module

[Ken Bloom]

Package: rubygems
Version: 1.7.2-1
Severity: critical

When I try to load various gems, I get the error "Undefined method
`skip_during' for Deprecated:Module". This occurs even if the gem
doesn't exist.

(Also, can you do something to get rid of the "warning: already
initialized constant Deprecate")
