Hmmm, I am not an install expert (never use it), but it looks you are right.

Thanks Andries.

Since the release there has been this commit that should fix it:

commit 64a3d521def5c2176e31d5716259f42ae09187ab
Author: Tim Rühsen <address@hidden>
Date:   Thu Oct 30 15:41:07 2014 +0100

    fix skip exit code 77

The author was in fact Mike Frysinger... (the patch either missed the author 
info or I made something wrong when importing the patch ... sigh).

Maybe you can test the latest 'git clone' ?
A bunch of things have been fixed since the release.
