This is a Gentoo-box, but I think this is not related to the problem.
The problem seems to come from the fact that the installer uses
tail -n +239 $0 > $archiveName
but $0 is "-su" when the installer is called with
. /path/to/installer
after having used su to change to the root user.
(of course, calling it that way was a stupid mistake on my side).
Now the tail command fails, thus the untarring fails, so there is no "sh"
directory, which leads to awful things when you are in e.g. /opt:
cd sh <-- does not work
. ./install.sh <-- does not work (unless there already is an install.sh
which would lead to strange effects)
# Cleaning
cd .. <-- this _DOES_ work -- I'm now in /
rm -rf sh <-- does not work, unless there is an directory "sh"
rm -rd root <-- eats my $HOME
You should definitely put some || exit
stuff in the installer :)
