Well, setting up a new test user ($ sudo adduser test) and a
single user install of rvm there is very cheap ... That would
validate that all the system libraries are OK.

I don't recall taking an Ubuntu from 10.04 to 11.10 and keeping
rvm on it (by coincidence, all my 11.10 machines are new set-ups,
not upgrades).

I would validate that first, before removing your rvm from your
"main" user account.
