[webmin-devel] [Usermin] Installation fails on Debian

[Martin M. <mar...@de...>]

Howdy,

please have a look at this ... (there maybe line breaks in it)

You have to run

mkdir /usr/libexec

before starting the setup.

Should be easy to patch the installation in order to do actually test
the directory-path's before trying to execute

	mkdir /usr/libexec/usermin

in a way like this

sh setup.sh /usr/libexec/usermin

test for /usr - if not create
test for /usr/libexec - if not create
test for /usr/libexec/usermin - if not create

or something like this :-)


kind regards
