Host is Debian Sid (sidux)  
Installed Ruby 1.8.6 and related  
rubygems 0.9.5  
rake 0.7.3 (via gem)

When I tried 'gem install rails --include=dependancies. I got a  
selection of several choices, and I chose 2.0.2, but the install fails  
due to activesupport-2.0.2 not found.

How can I fix this?

We’re having some gem mirroring issues currently… so we’ve just  
switched all the gems over to being served directly from [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org).  
Can you give it another try?

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks, activesupport-2.0.2 foundf now. But more weirdness. Now  
activerecord-2.0.2 not found. But when I retried 10 secs later, all  
dependancies were found and rails is now installed. I guess you can’t  
argue with success .
