[Solved] Unable to update gem

I am getting this error when I run gem update:

I have  searched the forums but have not yet found a suitable answer.
Is this perhaps a new bug? OpenSSL is installed.
Any help will be appreciated.

Re: [Solved] Unable to update gem

I discovered another thread which simply mention doing gem uninstall openssl. Did that and everything back to normal.
