Hi @arturoblanco and thanks for raising this issue. As we can see in the logs, rvm is installed, which is the purpouse of this repository package.

For issues with rvm usage, please check rvm repo.

I have something looking like this on a Ubuntu 18.04 install, too.

This happens with rvm install 2.5.0
