Failed ruby-build runs leave broken installs behind

[dgoodlad]

If ruby-build fails, in can leave the target version's directory behind with openssl and libyaml but no ruby. This causes the ruby provider to believe that the version is installed on future runs, which makes for all sorts of odd issues.

rbenv install will clean up the failed directory but ruby-build will not, expecting you to clean it up yourself.

How do you clean it up? Is there certain files that can be removed to trigger a re-install?

[mislav]

@outrunthewolf You clean up a failed install by rm -rf <target-dir>, and then attempt ruby-build installation again.

Oops, I just realized that it might be a responsibility of puppet-ruby to handle that automatically.
