I got this error message while wiring up private gems bundled via github:

Originally the problem appeared due to permissions issues: my server didn’t have access to my private repos. However, the above error appeared once the permissions issues were resolved.

I verified that git had the requested version of the gem, in the requested branch.

I found that running bundle update in production solved it. I modified my deploy script, capistrano in this case, to run the following during deploy:
