Autopackage: Install Fails

[Gilles]

Hi.


I've downloaded 2.6.0 in its new packaging style.
Right now, all I can say is: It doesn't work (TM).

I understand this is about simplifying installation for everyone;
hence, I followed the simple instruction on "autopackage.org", and
this the result:

# bash lilypond-2.6.0.x86.package
/dev/shm/autopackage.177993980/meta/@lilypond.org/lilypond:2.6.0/apkg-installer:
 line 1373: /usr/libexec/autopackage/freespace: No such file or directory
FAIL:  You don't have enough disk space for  in prefix , you need at least  
bytes

The missing bits in the error message clearly show that something happened 
that was unexpected. [And there is more than 3 GB of free space...]
So, what the "simple" user is supposed to do now?  Dive into the 
bash script?
Whom should the user turn to when something goes wrong with an 
autopackage-driven installation?  The to-be-installed software 
developers/packagers or the "autopackage" people?

I noticed, near the beginning of the script, the following line:

# CPUArchitecture x86

Does that mean that the lilypond autopackage doesn't work on AMD64 (x86_64)?
[The autopackage web site indicates that AMD64 is supported.] Or that
Lilypond doesn't work on AMD64? [Obviously not, since I have 2.4.5 installed.]
Or that the autopackage script is broken for this architecture?
[I read here that someone successfully installed the package on Debian.  That 
could help if we can compare our respective configurations...]


I'd really like to try out the latest and brightest Lilypond.

Thanks and best regards,
Gilles
