rvm (and hence mailcatcher) installation broken (upstream bug)

[kraftner]

Expected Behavior

vagrant up installs rvm with a current ruby and then installs mailcatcher

Current Behavior

Due to an upstream bug in rvm (or better the installer) the installation of rvm somewhat fails, skipping the ruby installation, which then leads to mailcatcher failing to install with symptoms similar to #985

Possible Solution

This line

curl --silent -L "https://get.rvm.io" | sudo bash -s stable --ruby

could be replaced by

curl --silent -L "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rvm/rvm/stable/binscripts/rvm-installer" | sudo bash -s stable --ruby

The reasoning for this is that https://get.rvm.io points to the master branch of rvm which might not play along with the stable version we're installing. Fix taken from the upstream issue.

I have applied the above fix and the provisioning worked flawlessly.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. vagrant up
2. Watch the provisioning and look for this section

==> default: bash: line 880: __rvm_print_headline: command not found
==> default:  * Mailcatcher [not installed]
==> default: Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
==> default: ERROR:  Error installing mailcatcher:
==> default:    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
==> default: 
==> default:         /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 extconf.rb
==> default: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- mkmf (LoadError)
==> default:    from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
==> default:    from extconf.rb:2:in `<main>'

3. e.g. run rvm list to check that ruby-2.4.0 is not installed

Your Environment

Can confirm that this works.
