Tom is working on this, I think…

This has long been fixed. Just update to the latest and all should be fine.

Unfortunately I just experienced the same error on rev 3494, same as OP - Wheezy 7.8 x64. Let me know if I can provide any logs or other info

Firstly, there is nothing wrong with your installer. Sometimes the downloads for the new client just don’t work.

If you want a band-aid to get the new version installed, everything but (maybe) the client…

You can go to the directory where your installer is (the trunk directory, not bin).

and go from there to here:

/trunk/lib/ubuntu

and edit functions.sh

Replace this:
[CODE]if [ -z “$clientVer” ]; then
echo “Failed to get client version”
exit 1
fi
[/CODE]

with this:

[CODE]if [ -z “$clientVer” ]; then
echo “Failed to get client version”
#exit 1
fi
[/CODE]

Note that the only difference is the hash mark in front of “exit 1”.

This allows the installer to attempt to download the client, but not exit the installation script if it fails. Please also continue to run the installer until you do get a good copy of the client. Just know that the new client WILL NOT be there until it says successfully downloaded!!
