I using Ubuntu 8.04.1 Desktop 386 to install Zimbra
I change the script in the /util/utilfunc.sh

getPlatformVars() {
  PLATFORM=`bin/get_plat_tag.sh`
  echo $PLATFORM
  if [ $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN3.1" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU7" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6_64" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU7_64" -o $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN4.0" -o $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN4.0_64" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTUUNKNOWN" -o $PLATFORM = "DEBIANUNKNOWN" ]; then
    checkUbuntuRelease
    PACKAGEINST='dpkg -i'
    PACKAGERM='dpkg --purge'
    PACKAGEQUERY='dpkg -s'
    PACKAGEEXT='deb'
    PACKAGEVERSION="dpkg-query -W -f \${Version}"
    PREREQ_PACKAGES="sudo libidn11 fetchmail libgmp3c2 libxml2 libstdc++6 openssl libltdl3"
    if [ $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU7" ]; then
      PREREQ_PACKAGES="sudo libidn11 fetchmail libpcre3 libgmp3c2 libexpat1 libxml2 libstdc++6 libstdc++5 openssl libltdl3"
      PRESUG_PACKAGES="perl-5.8.7"
    fi
    if [ $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6_64" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU7_64" ]; then
      PREREQ_PACKAGES="sudo libidn11 fetchmail libpcre3 libgmp3c2 libexpat1 libxml2 libstdc++6 libstdc++5 openssl libltdl3 libperl5.8"
      PRESUG_PACKAGES="perl-5.8.7"
    fi
    if [ $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN4.0" -o $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN4.0_64" ]; then
      PREREQ_PACKAGES="sudo libidn11 fetchmail libpcre3 libgmp3c2 libexpat1 libxml2 libstdc++6 openssl libltdl3"
      PRESUG_PACKAGES="perl-5.8.8"
    fi
  elif echo $PLATFORM | grep RPL > /dev/null 2>&1; then
.....

But the install by pass the missing package warning but not the installation.....

The warning message as below:

In my investigation when I run
henry@henry-desktop:~/Zimbra/zcs-5.0.8_GA_2462.UBUNTU6.20080709173036/bin$ ./get_plat_tag.sh
UBUNTUUNKNOWN

What happen? Why UNKNOWN?

Thank you
