CentOS 6.x failure

[pmyjavec]

When testing against CentOS 6 hosts, it seems the rubygems package is not installed which then causes the "verify" step to fail.

To resolve the issue I just logged into the box manually and installed rubygems

See the output:

Yeah, it seems that on CentOS 7 the ruby package depends on rubygems, so installing ruby also installs rubygems, however that's not true in CentOS 6...

# cat /etc/system-release
CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)

$ rpm -q --requires ruby | grep rubygems
ruby(rubygems) >= 2.0.14.1

so installing ruby will pull in the gems package...

              if [ -f /etc/centos-release ] || [ -f /etc/redhat-release ] || [ -f /etc/oracle-release ]; then                                                              
                sudo -E -H yum -y install ruby   

However on CentOS 6, this is not the case, and ruby doesn't depend on rubygems;

# rpm -qR ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
libc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libcrypt.so.1()(64bit)
libdl.so.2()(64bit)
libm.so.6()(64bit)
libpthread.so.0()(64bit)
librt.so.1()(64bit)
libruby.so.1.8()(64bit)
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rtld(GNU_HASH)
ruby-libs = 1.8.7.374-5.el6
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

# cat /etc/system-release
CentOS release 6.9 (Final)

so installing it doesn't get gems in the path. So the script jumps to trying to trying to install bundler with gem and fails;

if [ "$(sudo -E -H gem list bundler -i)" = "true" ]; then

This fixes it for CentOS, and I've tested it against CentOS7, and fedora-27
