These issues arise if you have a broken ruby installation. In Ubuntu 12.04, to install puppetmaster service, you definitely need Ruby 1.9.3 as the system ruby.

If you are using rvm or chruby, make sure you are using the right version ( 1.9.3 ) and also make sure that you don't have a different version of ruby installed with rvm and different version of Ruby in system and there is conflicts of path in bashrc.
