I am trying to install puppet-dashboard on a linux machine (EL 6). But this installation is blocked by a dependency on rubygems(rake). But i have this already installed on my machine.
please find the below details which might be helpful for showing me the way forward.
[admin@server ~]$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2013-06-27 patchlevel 374) [x86_64-linux]
[admin@server ~]$ gem list
YAML safe loading is not available. Please upgrade psych to a version that supports safe loading (>= 2.0).
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
bundler (default: 1.16.1)
json (1.5.5)
rake (10.5.0)
below is what i see when i try to install puppet-dashboard

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I found the solution for this and now I am feeling silly to post this question since the answer to it is so simple.
I just went to this link https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rubygem-rake and downloaded the Rake rpm, installed. and bam !! the puppet-Dashboard solves its dependency with the rake!
