parted plugin - Internal error: File '//sdm-cparse' not found in readparams

[stb68]

Hello

I'm running version 11.4 on a Pi 3B+ running Bookworm 32 bit and I got the above error from the following burn command:

sudo sdm --burn /dev/sda --no-expand-root --hostname GatewayPi \
 --burn-plugin parted:"rootexpand=3724|addpartition=7680,ext4"   2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-armhf-lite.img 

The command output shows the copy to card finishing and then:

Do you have any ideas why this would happen?

Thanks

• On the Pi3B+ host, do ls -l /etc/sdm.
• If the directory exists, see if there's a file there named cparse but no file named cparams. If there is, do sudo mv /etc/sdm/cparse /etc/sdm/cparams. Fumble-fingered edit in the installer if this fixes it.
• If the directory does not exist, do this and then retry the sdm command. If you installed sdm into a directory other than /usr/local/sdm, edit this before running and change sdmdir setting to be correct

  
  !/bin/bash

Thank you, the mv command sorted it

Great. Thx for the update. The install script has been updated/unduffed.
