[Scratchbox-devel] sb-adduser broken in 1.0.8

[Jussi Hakala]

You're right.

I'll try to fix this as soon as possible. After 1.0.7, the ugly path 
handling in the sbin/* scripts was refactored (the was breakages in 
other situations), but the new one does not handle properly situations 
in which the script is called from some other path than the scratchbox 
installation path or the path relative to it.

The solution is to use the scripts from their physical location, [1].

Thank you for the information.

In the future, however, I'd encourage you to use bugzilla for these kind 
of reports... :)

Regards,
