OK, I just reproduced this on my mac and two linux boxes, all rubygems
0.9.2. It did not occur on linux with rubygems 0.8.11. One linux is
ruby 1.8.4, other linux and mac are 1.8.5.
Strangely, it was NOT occurring on the two linux boxes until I deleted
my source_cache. Then, it started happening again after I deleted it.
So, I can recreate the problem without any source_cache at all (list
--remote doesn't create it), on three different systems.
chadmac:/ woolley$ rm /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/source_cache
rm: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/source_cache: No such file or directory
chadmac:/ woolley$ gem list activerecord --remote
*** REMOTE GEMS ***
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
private method `scan' called for #<YAML::PrivateType:0x15e2594>
I have the source_cache from my mac, where it was occurring even
before I deleted the file, but is that still relevant, since I can
recreate it without any source_cache at all?
Thanks,
Chad
