[DRE-maint] Bug#452547: rubygems: Disable gem update --system

[Ken Bloom]

Package: rubygems
Version: 0.9.4-4
Severity: normal


RubyGems 0.9.5 has been released, and the instructions for upgrading
include the 'gem update --system' command. Since 'gem update --system'
breaks the installation on Debian, and is unnecessary when apt-get is
present anyway, please disable 'gem update --system' and make it print
a note to use apt-get instead.

(See
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/279841 for
discussion of this issue.)
