** Description changed:

+ == SRU Justification ==
+ 
+ = Impact =
+ The Package fails to install on new installs without the admin group.
+ This was noticed fairly early but wasn't fixed before precise released.
+ 
+ I've requested that this package be removed from quantal, as it isn't
+ being cared for (LP: #881007)
+ 
+ = Testcase =
+ 
+ On a machine that was installed from precise:
+ $ apt-get install ruby-rvm
+ 
+ If it installs successfully, you haven't run into this issue.
+ 
+ = Regression Potential =
+ 
+ A minor change to the postinst script. Previously rvm's files were owned
+ by the admin group, now they'll be owned by the sudo group. These groups
+ are probably fairly equivalent in most installs.
+ 
+ Alternatively, we could continue to use the admin group if it exists...
+ 
+ == Original Report ==
