Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
removing /tmp/open-uri.6977.0…done
removing /tmp/open-uri.6977.1…done

thats now the point where no progress is visible. i could leave it for
hours without change, but during this time mod_passenger etc. is not
correct working.
What to do now to solve the problem and update the system?
Please give a little hint :wink:
Thanks
Andre

ok, i updatet gem to 1.2.0 and all works fine
