`bundle exec script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb bbcode-to-md` fails with:

> bundler: not executable: script/import\_scripts/phpbb3.rb

I tried using `bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb bbcode-to-md` too which results in the following error:

```
/var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:11:in `require': cannot load such file -- ruby-bbcode-to-md (LoadError)
        from /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:11:in `<top (required)>'
        from script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb:1:in `require'
        from script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb:1:in `<main>'

```

Here are the steps to reproduce this:

- Bootstrap a new Docker image and log in with `./launcher ssh app`
- Install _ruby-bbcode-to-md_ as root:`
cd /tmp
git clone GitHub - nlalonde/ruby-bbcode-to-md: Convert BBCode to Markdown. · GitHub
cd ruby-bbcode-to-md
gem build ruby-bbcode-to-md.gemspec
gem install ruby-bbcode-to-md-0.0.13.gem`
- Install the mysql2 gem as root:`
apt-get update && apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
gem install mysql2`
- Change the user and execute the importer:`
su - discourse
cd /var/www/discourse
RAILS_ENV=production ruby script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb bbcode-to-md`

It works without the `bbcode-to-md`, but fails when that parameter is used. Here’s the complete error message with stacktrace:

```
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.7.0/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:34:in `block in setup': You have already activated i18n 0.6.11, but your Gemfile requires i18n 0.6.9. Prepending `bundle exec` to your command may solve this. (Gem::LoadError)

        from script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb:295:in `<main>'

```

As I said in my previous post I think it’s because of the _ruby-bbcode-to-md_ gem, which installs a bunch of dependencies:

```
root@docker-app:/tmp/ruby-bbcode-to-md# gem install ruby-bbcode-to-md-0.0.13.gem
Fetching: i18n-0.6.11.gem (100%)
Successfully installed i18n-0.6.11
Fetching: thread_safe-0.3.4.gem (100%)
Successfully installed thread_safe-0.3.4

Fetching: minitest-5.4.0.gem (100%)
Successfully installed minitest-5.4.0
Fetching: activesupport-4.1.4.gem (100%)
Successfully installed activesupport-4.1.4
Successfully installed ruby-bbcode-to-md-0.0.13
6 gems installed

```

I’m no Ruby expert, so I’m not sure how to solve this. This looks like [dependency hell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_hell) to me.  
@neil Could you please take a look at this? Thanks.
