I tried to reproduce the problem, but the Gem installer immediately updates the Rake gem so that the messy gem specification of the old version will no longer be accessed. I suppose the error only surfaces in times when the Rake package is the newest version. Nevertheless, the missing executable specification line definitely is a bug, probably on the RubyGems side, not in Gentoo Portage. Again, and I can’t stress this enough, I'm tired of searching for bugs in these lousy written tools RubyGems and Rake. I will not make any effort to report any bugs there any more and I do not want to be responsible for anything these tools do.
