I have a working project the uses a pod file for some weeks now. When I learned that some of my pods have update I tried to 'pod install' on got this weird error

Aborting
another post suggested using the 'rm -rf ~/.cocoapods' command line but this caused my cocoapods to stop working all together for all project now which ever project I try to 'pod install' I get the 'Unable to find a specification for..' error
[!] Unable to find a specification for
CorePlot (= 1.3).
Answer
If you landed here on or after January 30th 2014, there is a break in CocoaPods causing this. Please read the related blog post found here: http://blog.cocoapods.org/Repairing-Our-Broken-Specs-Repository/
or do:
pod repo remove master
pod setup
