The way in which Nixpks builds Ruby gems means that certain operations
by bundler *will not work*, namely `bundle install --redownload`.
According to the source the _cache/_ directory should have been kept,
however it seems through revisions to the file it has been purged.
Here was the comment from the original commit that introduced
buildRubyGem:
```
# Note:
# We really do need to keep the $out/${ruby.gemPath}/cache.
# This is very important in order for many parts of RubyGems/Bundler to not blow up.
# See https://github.com/bundler/bundler/issues/3327
```
Why is the _cache_ directory needed?
Bundler and RubyGems uses the cache as a source of truth.
When bundler executes `bundler install --redownload`, any gems it
discovers in the _GEM_PATH_ it assums must have their _.gem_ file
present in the cache (unaware it was installed from Nix).
Rather than downloading the gem from RubyGems the bundler code forcibly
re-installs the gem from the cache directory instead and **fails** if it
does not exist.
I've opened https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/4088 to see if
this failure should be soft and not so explicit; or fallback to fetching
the gem from scratch.
Without this change the following is the error:
```bash
> [nix-shell:~/code/nix/playground/jruby-bundler-rake]$ bundle install --force
[DEPRECATED] The `--force` option has been renamed to `--redownload`

Wth the fix the following no woccurs:
