Gem update fails in puppet daemon mode only

[Christof Schöll]

Hello,

I get the following error when running a puppet agent in daemon mode:

change from ["2.2.2"] to latest failed: Could not get latest version: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

/Stage[main]/Ruby/Package[rubygems-update]/ensure

This works fine when running "puppet agent -t" from command line.

Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this or how to debug?

Help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance....

My Environment is Ubuntu 12.0.4 with puppet 3.4.3 and ruby 1.9.1 (1.9.3p0) - which according to the puppet release notes is buggy?
