Ruby RVM apt-get update error

Question

I get following error when trying to install anything with RVM:

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
Found remote file https://rvm.io/bina         


        

Answer 1

In my case rvm missed some linux packages, which couldnt be installed without sudo. There were no apt-get install errors at all.

When running rvm install ruby x.x.x with sudo, rvm installed packages required to build ruby and it worked.

Answer 2

Issue - requirements_debian_update_system ruby-2.2.2 error

I also had the same issue. I found info on this link Click Here

I followed this and resolved my issue. Was able to install ruby as

rvm install 2.2

Answer 3

apt install libc6:amd64 libc6:amd64 libc6 libc6-dev:amd64 libc6-dev libc-dev-bin libc-bin man-db libc-dev-bin libc6-dev:amd64

thats work fine for me ^^

Answer 4

I had the same issue. If none of the other answers work try this. I ran the following command to fix it:

sudo apt-get -f install

Then I remembered that I failed installing a package earlier that day. What this command did was resolve the dependencies on that package and allowed RVM to do its thing.

Answer 5

I was also getting this error when my working directory was inside a mounted dir.

The fix was just to:

cd ~

I figured this out by seeing this at the bottom of a sudo apt-get update

E: Unable to change to /path/to/my/current/directory/ - chdir (13: Permission denied)
