Re: Binary .package Why?

yes... it is bash script after all indeed! my fault.

but it keeps failing...

the test target platform is Ubuntu 6.06 server, run level is 3, no GUI
whatsoever, very little packages are installed. I need to install new
daemon, which is developed in Python. Install scenario is as following:
system admin remotely scp'ing .package file to the server (along with all
the other .tar.bz2 files) and runs it there. Installer should check for
quite some dependencies, but I started with a trivial one - python of
version 2.5.

When I run my .package file (command `bash test.package`) on that target
platform it says that support code should be installed "autopackage.tar.bz2"
(I don't like this at all!), then it either downloads or uses from disk and
then it says "autopackage/libexec/autosu-tui: error while loading shared
libraries: libglib-2.0.so.0: can't open shared object file: No such file or
directory"

Looks like it tries to run some GUI. How can I fix this?
