Component not found; installation not possible on Fedora Atomic

[gluckgluckwasserbauch]

On issue #422, I thought I couldn't install because the device isn't supported yet.
As we found out, it isn't because of the missing support, but due to some misbehaviour on my distro.

Error and backgrounds

Error

The error is: '/system/bin/sh: grep: not foun'

System information

OS: Fedora Atomic (the immutable variants of Fedora), to be more precise, the kinoite-main-image from universal-blue.org.
But I think it should be reproducible for every other image-based Fedora flavour too, maybe even for other distros like NixOS, OpenSuse MicroOS or VanillaOS.
Installation method: Flatpak from flathub.org; I didn't try it with Distrobox yet. Would lead to the same problem I guess.

Potential reason

As far as I (no expert) can guess, this is due to some missing symlinks.
Image-distros use a lot of symlinks to get around the permission problems. Just to visualize, here's a screenshot of my file system:

Every chain symbol on the icon shows that this folder is just a symlink. And there are a lot of them, including the /bin/ folder, where sh should be located for the installer to make use of.

Solution

Add a line of something like "if /bin/sh not found, then use /usr/bin/sh instead".

I would like to offer you that I can try it out myself, but sadly, I have zero coding experience. Even the bug report was a bit challenging for me... 😓

Thank you, we will look at it! (I'm busy these days...)

As we found out, it isn't because of the missing support, but due to some misbehaviour on my distro.

There is a bug with your distro, but your phone is not yet supported too (so we keep open #422)

Should be resolved with the next release :) Let me know if this error still persists and we can open it again.
