ZFSBootMenu version

Boot environment distribution

Void Linux

Problem description

Running remote-ssh-build.sh produces the following output:

Steps to reproduce

sudo su
mkdir /tmp/zfsbootmenu
cd /tmp/zfsbootmenu
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/refs/heads/master/contrib/remote-ssh-build.sh
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu/refs/heads/master/zbm-builder.sh
chmod a+x *.sh
 ./remote-ssh-build.sh

This is almost certainly an ephemeral upstream issue. I just ran

zbm-builder.sh -- -u

and the entire process succeeded.

Please try again now that Void has settled down.

zbm-builder.sh -- -u worked, but the original bug still seems to persist.

Try running the script as

./remote-ssh-build.sh  -- -u

or modifying the call to zbm-builder.sh to include a -u alongside the -p arguments already passed.

 -- -u

worked with the unmodified script, thanks!
