##(Wednesday August 28th)
I was looking at the issue again and I noticed a link at the bottom of the page. It went to and [older issue.}(rubygems/bundler#1915)
No milestone No one is assigned With bundler-1.2.0.pre installed, I run "bundle outdated gemname-with-typo" — misleadingly it reports success, I think because my bundle is technically up-to-date, since is not actually a gem.

Outdated gems included in the bundle:
Your bundle is up to date
An error message like "gemname-with-typo not found" instead would be greatly clarifying.
adelcambre's suggested that I make a directory with a Gemfile and run bundle outdated and see what happens when you specify a gem in the Gemfile, vs one that isn't.
$ mkdir test_outdated
$ cd test_outdated
$ vi Gemfile
$ bundle

Using rake (10.1.0)
Using bundler (1.3.5)
Your bundle is complete!
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

He notes: One gem in the gemfile (rake), bundle outdated rake and bundle outdated rails look exactly the same even though rake is there and rails isn't
I ran $ bundle outdated serv to check the error because there is no serv gem listed in the Gemfile.

You have requested:
rake = 10.0.4
The bundle currently has rake locked at 10.1.0.
Try running `bundle update rake`
So yes it worked, I re-created the error or in this case the lack there of.
I took a break to deal with my land-lord and my broken sink and leaking toilet. I returned to find that Jessica had made comments on all my pull requests so I started doing 8 corrections then squashed them all. I am feeling pretty comfortable with squashing and rebasing now. This time when everything went awry on one of the squashings I was able to figure out how to fix it on my own.
