questions

1. do you have ssh-keys setup or use a root user password?
2. Can you provide some info about your servers, number of cpus?
The package should have been removed and copied on this line. It doesn't show the copy.
Just wonder if the command timed out for some reason.

Here is an example of it working when using root password. will double check with using ssh-keys

testing build on 1 cpu, 4vcores system
used root passwd on install (but also have ssh keys installed)
other parts of the script show successful scp so I am not too sure what went wrong

After the remove completed I scp'd the deb over and the install appears to be more successful

Thanks for the input... I was thinking that the install script timed out at that point when it was trying to run the scp command. so on a small system, it is more likely to take place. That is my thought..

This is working in the current 1.0.8 release.. Changes to the user/performance installer script corrects this issue

It was verified in 1.0.8.
