Help with migration issue

When attempting a migration I receive the following error:

uninitialized constant Rails::Plugin::Dependencies
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.11/lib/
active_support/dependencies.rb:131:in `const_missing’

Specifically, I want to update a Redmine (http://www.redmine.org)
instance from 0.8.0 to 1.2.1. The Redmine site has directions for
updating (Overview - Redmine
RedmineUpgrade), which I’ve gotten to work up until the final
migration step. From the guide:

If you are upgrading from Redmine 0.8.x as part of this migration, you
need to upgrade the plugin migrations first:

rake db:migrate:upgrade_plugin_migrations RAILS_ENV=production

rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production

When I try to upgrade the migrations plugin, I get the following:

$ sudo rake --trace db:migrate:upgrade_plugin_migrations
RAILS_ENV=production
(in /var/www/html/redmine-1.2.1)
** Invoke db:migrate:upgrade_plugin_migrations (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!

Redmine 1.2.1 recommends some fairly specific requirements(http://
RedmineInstall - Redmine),
which I believe I’ve matched:
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i686-linux]
$ gem list --local

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (2.3.11)
actionpack (2.3.11)
activerecord (2.3.11)
activeresource (2.3.11)
activesupport (2.3.11)
arrayfields (4.7.0)
fastthread (1.0.1)
fattr (1.0.3)
git-rails (0.2.1)
hoe (1.8.3)
i18n (0.4.2)
main (2.8.3)
passenger (2.0.6)
rack (1.1.1)
rails (2.3.11)
rake (0.8.7)
rubyforge (1.0.2)
rubygems-update (1.5.0)
tzinfo (0.3.12)

$ gem -v
1.3.7

My best guess at this point is that one of the gems or gem itself is
not quite on the right version. The requirements page has a
compatibility note:
RubyGems 1.3.7 or higher is required with following limitations :
Rails 2.3.5 will fail with RubyGems 1.5.0 or later, stick to
previous versions of RubyGems !
Rails 2.3.11 will fail with RubyGems 1.7.0 or later, stick to
previous versions of RubyGems !

I’m running 1.3.7, which should work, but it’s the minimum version. I
could try to update to 1.7.0, but I’d need to update Ruby core as
well, I’m pretty sure.

I don’t have much experience with RoR, so I may have missed something
obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
