Porteus

using Porteus 4.0 xfce x86_64 USM version: 3.2.0

if i do:
usm -g nano-2.6.0-x86_64-1.txz

it works.

but the moment i create directory p USM stops working:

#---------------
root@vm:~# mkdir p
root@vm:~# usm -g nano-2.6.0-x86_64-1.txz
#---------------

Getting error:

/usr/share/usm/funcpackageGet: line 103: declare: 456K: value too great for base (error token is "456K")

(changing directory without subdirectory p USM starts working again)


That also means if i have certain files
like symlink p to my porteus usb stick in my homedir
THE GUI USM fails without any error messages.

I know other file/symlink/directory names than p also cause this problem but i don't know the pattern behind this.

What happens if you create the module without the p symlink? What happens if you mkdir y instead?

If your USB stick is mounted I don't see the need for the symlink.
