You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@INFINI-ONE ~]# gem -v
2.0.3

these packages are in the RHN repositories. Are your subscriptions up to date? is your system healthy in the RHN console? Note that if you are not fully utilizing a paid subscription to RHN you should NOT be using RHEL in the first place, for reasons you;'re now encountering.

Not that this has nothing to do with virtualization or cloud computing, please pick your forums more carefully in future, thanks :)

I have added puppet repos, i am having issue with ruby gems dependency, though its already installed there

well the latest official EL6 version of rubygems appears to be 1.3.7, yet you've got 2.0.3? Was this installed from a non-rpm source? if so then that won't register in the rpm dependency checks as it's looking for database entries, not binaries on disk.

in addition to what acid_kewpie pointed out note:

have you followed the directions and ran yum --skip-broken?

if you installed EPEL from the fedora tree, then you are fubar and will have to go backwards to clean things up before you can properly install gem.
