Ugh. Apparently the backslash wasn't interpreted correctly... This is a
bug in the postinstall script -- it worked in ash, but doesn't in bash.
I'll see what I can do about fixing it.

Probably permission issues again.

So, except for the pdksh postinstall (which is a genuine bug), everything
else seems to be related to the weird permissions on your machine.
