Heroku toolbelt fails update

I'm trying to get Heroku toolbelt working and it's a total nightmare. The install runs successfully, but when I run heroku update I get:

    $ heroku update 
         failed    
            !   undefined method `output_with_arrow' for #<Heroku::Command::Update:0x108da0120 @options={}, @args=[]>

I've tried everything, including uninstalling my heroku gem and removing the toolbelt via:

rm -rf /usr/loca/heroku
sudo rm /usr/bin/heroku

This is VERY frustrating. My environment is Mac OS 10.7 Lion and:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-darwin11.3.0]

$ which ruby
/Users/J/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ruby

$ heroku version
heroku-gem/2.19.2

$ which heroku
/usr/bin/heroku

I had some problems installing Heroku on Windows. After installing and running at the command line for the first time, I got something like "Updating to 5.1.4-cc" and then simply 'panic:'. I couldn't find a '.heroku' folder, and after a lot of messing around, running heroku-cli.exe in {user}AppData\Local\heroku got it past that problem, then everything was good. Until this morning - one day later :) - when it tried updating again, to 5.1.5. I uninstalled everything, re-installed, same issue - but this time there was a '.heroku' folder, and deleting that got past the update issue.

Cheers

Dont have much fuss about about uninstalling and reinstalling it again. Just Delete .heroku folder and it will start working fine...

Heroku support finally helped me fix this. Long story short, if you're having this issue, just run: 

$ rm -rf ~/.heroku/client

Then reinstall the Heroku Toolbelt from http://toolbelt.heroku.com

If you want the long answer, here you go:

There appear to be some edge cases where update ended up with some incorrect data and it is somewhat more difficult to recover from this. If you first delete the ~/.heroku/client directory and subsequently run the installer you should end up with a working result.

Heroku toolbelt is nice, but heroku_san offers all that and more. Maybe give it a shot?
