Unable to configure scalarizr while installing deb in Ubuntu. Proposed Patch for postinst.

Hi,

I get the following output when I'm installing scalarizr on Ubuntu 14.04

===

Selecting previously unselected package scalarizr-ec2.

Thank you for installing scalarizr!

The messages about 'insserv' are issued, because we have our own message in the '/etc/issue.net'

and the script fails to detect that it is being run on Ubuntu.

I guess it is better to check /etc/os-release or /etc/lsb-release for the presence of 'Ubuntu' string.

I was wondering if you could fix .deb with the following patch.

diff -du postinst.orig postinst

+++ postinst 2016-08-01 21:19:43.786677729 +0000

Ian,

Thank you for patch and report. We'll correct postinst script behavior.

Great! Thanks!

Do you have any ETA when the fixed packages will be released? 1-2..7 days?

Thank again,

Ian

We've created in internal ticket to revise postinst. Patch fixes only the single use case, and we can't apply it as is.

So the answer is - soon.
