gem update
I repeatedly got the same annoying error message again and again:
Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn] Y
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find activesupport (= 1.4.3.7843) in any repository
The fix is however simply - just specifiy a source server for the packages (where Rails 1.2.5 can already be found):
gem install rails --version '= 1.2.5' --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org/ -y
Problem sovled - let's get back preparing Rails 1.2.x application for the migration to Rails 2.0
Update 1 - There are again failing updates!
To resolve this fully, just get rid of everything old and reinstall:
gem uninstall rails (select "all")
gem install rails -y --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org/
