Would like to upgrade Ruby to the latest. To make everything on my
puppet server happy I need to remove the Ruby 1.8.7 that YUM installed.
When I run 'yum erase ruby' it looks like it will also remove puppet,
puppetdb, and so on. If I follow through with this:
- will a reinstall of puppet and puppetdb use the upgraded ruby?
No, the packages expect the version of Ruby they were built against. I
don't believe Puppetdb cares about Ruby, it's a Clojure application.
- will they behave like they do now? (reasonably well)
No.

It's never a good idea to replace system Ruby. If you need a different
version install it into opt and point your local applications at it or
use rvm/rbenv in a role account.
It is possible to run your Passenger 4.x based Puppet master under a
Ruby installed via one of the methods above, but it's complicated. I
don't recommend it unless you're very comfortable with the Passenger,
Rack, rvm, Ruby, gem ecosystem.
