Buggy postinstall script in cvmfs-2.12.0.macfuse.arm64.pkg

Client
1

I was wondering why the installer did not advance for more than one hour, when I came across //tmp/cvmfs_postinstall where I see

Pausing cvmfs-config.cern.ch on /cvmfs/cvmfs-config.cern.ch
base64: invalid argument -b0
Usage: base64 [-hDd] [-b num] [-i in_file] [-o out_file]
-h, --help display this message
-Dd, --decode decodes input
-b, --break break encoded string into num character lines
-i, --input input file (default: “-” for stdin)
-o, --output output file (default: “-” for stdout)
rm: /var/run/cvmfs/cvmfs.pause/: is a directory

Can you please fix these bugs and provide a working installer for macOS?

Best regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias, thanks for the report.

Seems like this could be bash - What is the difference between “base64 -b0” in macOS versions prior to macOS 13 (Ventura) and “base64 -i” in macOS 13 (Ventura)? - Super User

What is the macos version that you are using?
Cheers,
Valentin

Hi Valentin,

I tried with macOS 13 and with macOS 15. On both I had extremely long delays in the installation, but I checked the log only on 13 (if I remember correctly).

Cheers,

Matthias
