Missing bigdecimal and psych dependencies in Gemfile and Gemfile.lock

Summary

I have a source installation (from git). When trying to upgrade to v9.3.0-rc3 or higher (I think this started with rc3, and does not happen with rc2. I’m not 100% sure), various steps of the install fail because of missing dependencies:

% bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production 
rake aborted!                                      
LoadError: cannot load such file -- bigdecimal/util

or

/usr/share/ruby/yaml.rb:7:in `<main>':                                    
It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).       
To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby.
rake aborted!                                                             
LoadError: cannot load such file -- psych/exception                       

Steps to reproduce

I think it’s hard to reproduce, because on some installs psych and bigdecimal are embeded directly with ruby (according to a few search, and the error message above), so I don’t know exactly how to trigger these, this is probably very platform-dependent.
