I used to have rubygems 0.9.2 installed on my linux system. I upgraded  
it using:

gem update --system

And it seemed to go fine. When I check what version is installed:

~ :  
… gem -v  
1.0.1

To cut a long story short, I want to rollback to the previous version.  
Is this possible without having to reinstall all the gems?

Thanks,
