Error Installing the SDCSS Agent DEB

 

Cause

Attempting to change the default SDCS install directory under Ubuntu/Debian

Resolution

The agent will not install properly in any other directory but the default, and the option to do so has been removed in future releases.

As per 6.5 (Sparta) release the "-prefix" option has been removed to dissalow the ability to change from the default directory.
