bikramjit ganguly resolved BIGTOP-293.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 0.2.0
the correct syntax should be
sudo apt-get install hadoop\* flume-* whirr-*
originally the package names was flume\*. the command parses flume\* as a posix
regex and actually interprets it as flume*. this regex then resolves to 0 or
more matches for the character 'e'. thus it picks up the package flumotion. it
also picks up the package cortado , as the description for that package has a
reference to flumotion in it.
similar analysis holds for whirr-*. when used as whirr\*, it will also install
some 'whirlpool' related package.
we could, infact, possibly use the trailing hyphen for the other packages also,
but i haven't done any testing on packages other than flume and whirr.
> Update the installation instructions so that 'flume\*' is changed into
> something that doesn't get the extra stuff
