Issue #3127 has been updated by Piotr Stolc.

This bug is also present in 2.6.2

Here is my quick fix for this bug. I don't know whether this fix doesn't break 
something else in the provider ;)

Bug #3127: gem provider will incorrectly consider gem with similar name is 
installed
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3127

Author: Byron Appelt
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal

Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4
Keywords: 
Branch: 


If I have:

package { "json":
    ensure => installed,
    provider => gem,
    require => Exec["ruby setup.rb"]
  }

while a gem called "json_pure" is installed, the "json" gem will not be 
installed since there is already a gem starting with the same name.
