rubygems-update 1.3.0 causing rake task problems?

I'm running into problems with some of my rake tasks and I think it's since my host updated rubygems to v 1.3.0.

Has anybody else seen this message?

   Gem::SourceIndex#search support for String patterns is deprecated

   ./script/../config/boot.rb:26 is outdated

that line of code is as follows:

   rails_gem = Gem.cache.search('rails', "~>#{version}.0").sort_by { | g> g.version.version }.last

I doint think it's affecting my main app code... only the rake tasks.

Any ideas on what happended? Or how to fix this?

just replace the line in boot.rb with

rails_gem = Gem.cache.search(Gem::Dependency.new('rails', "~>#{version}.0")).sort_by { |g| g.version.version }.last

Note that the two string parameters to search() are replaced by one parameter of type Gem::Dependency. Think of it as wrapping the strings in the dependency object. Strange deprecation, took me quite some time.
