Ubuntu PPA snapshot

Post by Ron »

I'm getting some odd behavior with the Ubuntu PPA snapshot install on Ubuntu 17.10. I followed the directions :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:exult-team/exult-daily
sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get install exult

exult starts to install but it never finishes. My machine started to crawl, then I noticed my hard drive was filling up. When I did a ps, I saw three processes doing this:

rsync / /usr/share/games/exult/blackgate

It looks like the install process is copying the root directory into the blackgate game directory three times.

I ended up having to kill the process and removing the game. Anyone else running into this? I can reproduce it though I am a little nervous about doing that because it took a little work to get dpkg back into a normal state.
