  Here's the gems I have installed:

  tuple (0.1.2)
  tzinfo (0.3.23)

  I uninstalled also ruby-related packages which I could find before
  reinstalling rbot and got the same effect.

  On closer inspection, it looks like the classname rbot is expecting is
  BDB, but the bdb gem which ubuntu has installed has Bdb. It looked
  like rbot wanted a much newer version than what ubuntu had installed,
  so I'm assuming there is a dependency issue between the two.
