Yes, you'll get a few dependency warnings when you run 'gem cleanup'. If A depends on B, and it is trying to remove B, then it'll warn you that A will stop working. But chances are that A is going to be removed later on in the clean-up anyway. As long as A isn't a version that you intend to keep, it's okay to let it remove the dependency. Just read the message and do a quick mental sanity check. You can always reinstall a gem later if it gets removed by mistake. > It looks like I should not remove some gems that are causing this issue. > Do others just live with the annoying messages about deprecation? The annoying messages about deprecation are a recent introduction: http://blog.zenspider.com/2011/05/rubygems-18-is-coming.html We're all still learning how to live with them (or, more productively, trying to get gems updated to not use the deprecated APIs).
