For sure, I can reproduce the problem if i return back to rubygems 0.9.2  
and updating again to 1.0.1 with gem update --system.

I attached the complete log.

Use `gem1.8`.

I will add a note about the name of `gem` in the next revision of  
RubyGems.

Yes, using gem1.8 works nice.

# gem1.8 -v

1.0.1

Short workaround for others in the same situation. Do a symlink:

mv /usr/bin/gem /usr/bin/gem.bak  
ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem
