What happened?

While testing PR #320 I would get the following error:

admin@armbian:~/configng$ bin/armbian-config --api pkg_install vim-airline

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package Invalid argument: vim-airline

Upon further testing, any package containing dash (-) in the name would produce similar error.

It turns out the error is generated by the sanitize_input function which does not allow dashes. However, the pipeline doesn't seem to work as expected, since instead of just reporting the error "Invalid argument: vim-airline," this output is passed further down the pipeline.

In the end the pkg_install function tries to install a package called Invalid argument: vim-airline, which results in a confusing error.

How to reproduce?

See above.

On which host OS are you running the build script and observing this problem?

Ubuntu 24.04 Noble
