Ruby RVM apt-get update error

by

RVM doesn’t behave well if apt-get update has errors. If your apt sources have an invalid repository that gives 404 or GPG error, RVM will refuse to work. This can be confusing because it happens even if the faulty repository has nothing to do with ruby or RVM.

The following fix worked for me (Ubuntu):

Run apt-get update and see if there are any errors. Edit your sources.list and precise.list in /etc/apt to remove the faulty repositories. Repeat until apt-get update succeeds without any errors. Then try running RVM.
