How to fix conflict between diferent gem dependencies

Question

Let's see if someone can help me with this, I have no idea what I'm doing.

The server is a debian 8.4 , fully updated.

And I also updated gems with 'gem update', all the posible errors and warnings have been fixed.

I'm installing redmine_git_hosting and this happened:

root@esplx345:/usr/share/redmine# bundle install --without development test
Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and installing your bundle as root will break
this application for all non-root users on this machine.
Warning: this Gemfile contains multiple primary sources. Using `source` more than once without a block is a security risk, and may result in installing unexpected gems. To resolve this warning, use a block to indicate which gems should come from the secondary source. To upgrade this warning to an error, run `bundle config disable_multisource true`.
Your Gemfile lists the gem redcarpet (~> 3.3.2) more than once.
You should probably keep only one of them.
While it's not a problem now, it could cause errors if you change the version of just one of them later.

Resolving dependencies...
Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "rack":
  In snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
    rack (= 1.5.5)

  In Gemfile:
    rails (~> 4.1.4) was resolved to 4.1.15, which depends on
      actionpack (= 4.1.15) was resolved to 4.1.15, which depends on
        rack (~> 1.5.2)

    gitlab-grack was resolved to 2.0.0.pre, which depends on
      rack (~> 1.4.1)

    rack-openid was resolved to 1.4.2, which depends on
      rack (>= 1.1.0)

Running `bundle update` will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only
the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.
root@esplx345:/usr/share/redmine#

I've googled and tryied many things, but nothing seams to work.

I have the following gems on my system:

root@esplx345:/usr/share/redmine# gem update
Updating installed gems
Nothing to update
root@esplx345:/usr/share/redmine# gem list

Many Thanks for your help.

Solution

Is a good strategy use RVM when you have different projects in different Ruby versions or Rails as well, but I usually only remove the Gemfile.lock and run bundle install and everything runs ok.

It's a really bad idea to install gems as root, and also to not use an environment manager such as rvm. My production redmine is installed with rvm and a systemd user service to start thin.

[Marc Riera]

And you how did you manage this kind of problems? Installed each different version of the gem on a different rvm env?

[Michael Hampton]

Different applications get different rvm environments....if there were any! The VM runs only redmine.
