Error on installing ruby rvm

On installing Ruby1.9.3 with RVM rvm install 1.9.3, It show following message.

The program 'rvm' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ruby-rvm

After that I had tried to install ruby-rvm but it shows following message at last.

...
Setting up libreadline-gplv2-dev (5.2-11) ...
Setting up ruby-rvm (1.6.9-0ubuntu2) ...
dpkg-statoverride: error: syntax error: unknown group 'admin' in statoverride file
dpkg: error processing ruby-rvm (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ruby-rvm
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

after receving this message I look up at here but I don't able to figure what above error code means.

virus@virus-pc:~$ type rvm | head -1

You're trying to install it with apt-get. You probably installed ruby-rvm but since it's outdated it was installed broken. You probably have to delete it using synaptic or via sudo apt-get purge ruby-rvm command. You should NOT install rvm via apt-get. Read post from Ryan more careful. Correct command to install rvm is:

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
