sudo gem update –system under ubuntu/debian

If you have tried that command, you already know that doesn’t work!
Here is the correct procedure to update gem under ubuntu/debian without using apt-get/aptitude

$ sudo gem install rubygems-update
$ cd /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
$ sudo ./update_rubygems
$ gem -v
$ 1.3.5

Happy rubying :)
