Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3320

Just noticed that building from git master breaks on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Not sure, but it looks as if older versions of install can't handle the syntax introduced in ab62720b38. I do realize 16.04 is dinosaurial by now, but it might be broken on other OS'es too.

$ install --version | head -n 1
install (GNU coreutils) 8.25

...
# etc files
install -m 0755 -d //etc/firejail
install -m 0644 -t //etc/firejail etc/{*.profile,*.inc,*.net,firejail.config}
install: cannot stat 'etc/{*.profile,*.inc,*.net,firejail.config}': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile:125: realinstall] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/bz-dirkos/firejail-git'
make: *** [Makefile:164: install] Error 2

Try now, I think I have a fix in. I'm still waiting on travis here:

The globbing should be done by the your shell. Maybe the bash in 16.04 is too old for this syntax. The globing in fbec95c4 is also done by the shell, if it works can you try:

install -m 0644 -t $(DESTDIR)/$(sysconfdir)/firejail etc/*.profile etc/*.inc etc/*.net etc/firejail.config

I'm seeing the same problem in debian stable. It's something very recent. TravisCi is fine (that's an Ubuntu 14.04) @rusty-snake what distro are you on?

@netblue30 Thanks, that worked.

install -m 0644 -t $(DESTDIR)/$(sysconfdir)/firejail etc/.profile etc/.inc etc/*.net
etc/firejail.config

@rusty-snake seems a lot faster now doing it like that, it worked with bash from a xenial PPA (5.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.sav0) and the original xenial version (4.0).
