Urbackclient not installing on aarch64 and i386 (with fix)

As documented here I have discovered that urbackupclient does not install on Raspberry PI 64 bit, or on i386 machines.

When I run:

TF=$(mktemp) && wget "https://hndl.urbackup.org/Client/2.5.21/UrBackup%20Client%20Linux%202.5.21.sh" -O $TF && sudo sh $TF; rm -f $TF

it fails (on Raspberry Pi) with:

The guru at DietPi discovered there is a bug in the installer, and also discovered that it was fixed way back in 2020, but for some reason has not yet made it into the deployed download script.

Could this be fixed please? I’ve only installed the client three times so far (more to come!), once on a i386 and twice on a 64 bit raspberry pi, so I’ve had to compile from source every time – not a great chore, but you are so close to having it working properly.

Thank you.

Sry, was broken last month with this commit, I guess:

will fix.
