rvm reinstall may hang during "importing gemset"

[kakra]

Description

I've run rvm reinstall all --force due to changing autolibs to rvm_pkg (which is needed on Gentoo lately due to OpenSSL header incompatibilities).

During the process it seemingly froze, and I had to press Ctrl+C:

ruby-2.2.2 - #gemset created /home/kakra/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2@global
ruby-2.2.2 - #importing gemset /home/kakra/.rvm/gemsets/global.gems...............................................^CError running 'gemset_import_list gem-wrappers rubygems-bundler rake rvm bundler',
please read /home/kakra/.rvm/log/1572351922_ruby-2.2.2/gemsets.import.global.log

Steps to reproduce

1. Run rvm autolibs rvm_pkg
2. Run rvm reinstall all --force as instructed
3. Wait for the activity indicator to seemingly hang and press Ctrl+C

Expected behavior

It should just finish the process without user interaction.

Actual behavior

When pressing Ctrl+C, it can be observed from the log that we actually interrupted an interactive user prompt: The user was asked to answer a question with yes or no.

If blindly typing "y" or "n" and hitting enter while the process seemingly hangs, we can let it continue.

Wow, I actually got the same issue above with this hanging on ruby-2.3.3 - #importing gemset .../global.gems - please wait, but then typing y into the ether and hitting enter caused the process to continue

[kakra]

Do you also use autolibs rvm_pkg?

[Gengar003]

I am encountering this in an unattended script - it spends ~15 minutes waiting here before continuing. There is no interactivity, so there is no way for a human to press 'y + enter'.

yes | rvm install .... doesn't seem fix it in a script, as the solution here suggests might work.

Is there a way to tell rvm itself to not ask the question? Or some other trick to have a script "press y and then enter" at the right moment?
