puppet/modules/misc/files/gem-home.sh sets $GEM_HOME to ~/.gem. This means that packages with the 'gem' provider will be installed in /home/root/.gem, but after logging in $GEM_HOME will be /home/vagrant/gem, so the gems will not be available.
Version: unspecified

Change 111143 had a related patch set uploaded by Gergő Tisza:
Make sure gems are always installed for the vagrant user
Change 111143 merged by jenkins-bot:
Make sure gems are always installed for the vagrant user
No patch to review anymore, and the fix works for me on a clean vagrant instance, but a more robust solution would be nice.
Is this still a problem? We no longer set GEM_HOME at all. It looks to me like all gems are now installed via native system packages or globally for all users.
