Error message

Unable to satisfy '#{dep}' from currently installed gems

What it means

Error "Unable to satisfy '#{dep}' from currently installed gems" thrown in ruby/rubygems.

Source

Thrown at lib/rubygems/commands/lock_command.rb:63

  gem 'actionwebservice', '= 1.0.0'

Just load lockdown.rb from your application to ensure that the current
versions are loaded.  Make sure that lockdown.rb is loaded *before* any
other require statements.

Notice that rails 1.0.0 only requires that rake 0.6.2 or better be used.
Rake-0.7.0.1 is the most recent version installed that satisfies that, so we
lock it down to the exact version.
