How to fix RVM openssl error in ubuntu 22.04

Recently, I installed Ubuntu 22.04 because I wanted to be on the latest version.

I installed rvm.io without issues, then I just wanted to download the ruby binary as usual.

rvm install 2.6.9

and oh, surprise! ran in the following error

at the beginning I didn’t understand the error, I thought needed to install some rvm requirements, but didn’t work.

to solve it, need to downgrade the openssl version

rvm pkg install openssl

then

rvm install ruby-2.6.9 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

problably you will have errors in another gems, though
