Describe the problem as clearly as you can

On clean ruby 2.7.7 installed by RVM a default bundler v. 2.1.4 gem is installed. I need more recent version of the gem so I install it by running gem install bundler:2.4.19 --default. Then I try to install the gems bundle isntall and I get an error

I check the bundler versions and it looks like I have two versions installed both set as default gem. How can two gems be set as default? Why is the old one not unset as default automatically?

gem info bundler

You don't need to add --default option for your use-case. Use just gem install bundler for recent stable version.

@jedrekdomanski did you ever get this sorted out?

Also, FYI, all Ruby versions before v3.0 are considered end-of-life/unmaintained. (I know sometimes people have to use old versions anyway, but I wanted to make sure you were at least aware of it.)

I did not find any solution and I keep using the default version that comes with Ruby.
