Ubuntu sw packages install failure due to long path #15

Description

@Tobi-Alonso

Encountered behavior

On Ubuntu 22.04:
When running bash ./aved_install.sh in a a long path apt fails with the following message:

E: flAbsPath on .{pkg_name}.deb failed - realpath (13: Permission denied)

Then install script doesn't detect the issue which is not necessarily trivial to debug

Expected behavior

Successful installation or better debug info. While this an apt issue, the script could:

  • Detect a successful installation, and suggest solutions on failure
  • Work around the problem:
    • check path length
    • move .deb files to a known location (ex.: tmp) before calling apt
