After creating a mirror of http://rubygems.org, I pointed gem at my local repository:

gem sources -r http://rubygems.org/
gem sources -a http://labmaster/gems/

All seems to go well, I see my new repository in 'gem sources'.

When trying to search through my local repository, I get this:

> gem search -r puppet
*** REMOTE GEMS ***
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
bad response Not Found 404 (http://labmaster/gems/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

I downloaded the latest_specs.4.8.gz file by hand using wget and put it into the root of my mirror with the other specs files and I was able to then search for gems and the error stopped displaying.
