As a temporary workaround, try adding an entry to install ruby-libs between 
ruby-gems-install and ruby-devel.  I say temporary because this looks like a 
bug that will cause you other problems down the road if you don't find the root 
cause.

Here's one way to diagnose this.  Try running puppet on a new system in debug 
mode.  Then run those same commands yourself on a new system replacing -d 0 -e 
0 with -d 8 -e 1.  Hopefully someone will have an easier idea.
