113667 - Installation ends with an error message (could not get current directory)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 101016

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Alexander Skwar]

Using builds 2001120508 installer on Linux.  After installation successfully
finishes, an error message is shown:

[askwar@teich mozilla-installer]$ shell-init: could not get current directory:
getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

(File or directory not found)

However, the directory still exists.

I did:

a) tar xfvz mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
b) cd mozilla-installer
c) install everything to /home/askwar/mozilla

Alexander, you are probably not using bash as /bin/sh.  Unfortunately we are not
fully compatible to other shells at the moment.  See the other bug for details.

[askwar@teich askwar]$ ls -la /bin/sh /bin/bash ; rpm -qf /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       580940 Nov 19 14:14 /bin/bash*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Dez  4 18:04 /bin/sh -> bash*
bash-2.05-15mdk

So, yes, I am using bash, bash2 to be exact.  Besides, if this is known to only
work with bash, why write /bin/sh?  /bin/bash would be the correct line, would
it not?
