Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2744

I wanted to update my ark servers today, but got the following error message:

ark-ragnarok@ark:~$ ./arkserver update
    fetching command_update.sh...OK
[ .... ] Update arkserver:     fetching update_steamcmd.sh...OK
[ .... ] Update arkserver: Checking for update: SteamCMD: checking local build/home/ark-ragnarok/lgsm/functions/update_steamcmd.sh: Line 57: +login: command not found.
[ FAIL ] Update arkserver: Checking for update: SteamCMD: checking remote buildark-ragnarok@ark:~$

bash -x ./arkserver update showed me, that there is no value for ${steamcmdcommand} in lgsm/functions/update_steamcmd.sh

+++++ cd /home/ark-ragnarok/steamcmd
++++++ +login anonymous '' +app_info_update 1 +app_info_print 376030 +quit

/home/ark-ragnarok/lgsm/functions/update_steamcmd.sh: Zeile 57: +login: Kommando nicht gefunden.
++++++ sed 1,/public/d

In this respository i found an assignment of a value to this variable at check_steamcmd.sh in the fn_check_steamcmd_exec() function. The script on my server does not have this function nor a value assignment for $steamcmdcommand on another place:

ark-ragnarok@ark:~$ grep -r "steamcmdcommand" lgsm/
lgsm/functions/update_steamcmd.sh:              ${unbuffer} ${steamcmdcommand} +login "${steamuser}" "${steampass}" +force_install_dir "${serverfiles}" +app_set_config 90 mod "${appidmod}" +app_update "${appid}" -beta "${branch}" +quit | tee -a "${lgsmlog}"
lgsm/functions/update_steamcmd.sh:              ${unbuffer} ${steamcmdcommand} +login "${steamuser}" "${steampass}" +force_install_dir "${serverfiles}" +app_update "${appid}" -beta "${branch}" +quit | tee -a "${lgsmlog}"
lgsm/functions/update_steamcmd.sh:      remotebuild=$(${steamcmdcommand} +login "${steamuser}" "${steampass}" +app_info_update 1 +app_info_print "${appid}" +quit | sed '1,/branches/d' | sed "1,/${branchname}/d" | grep -m 1 buildid | tr -cd '[:digit:]')

So I thought i should update lgsm ./arkserver update-lgsm) maybe. The lgsm update worked well. Even ./arkserver update worked well. But when starting the server, i see that lgsm want me now to install steamcmd from repository:

ark-ragnarok@ark:~$ ./arkserver start
Warning! Missing dependencies: steamcmd lib32stdc++6
Warning! ark-ragnarok does not have sudo access. Manually install dependencies.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update; sudo apt install steamcmd lib32stdc++6

Failure! Missing dependencies required to run SteamCMD.

But using steamcmd from the repositories breaks now the lgsm/functions/fix_ark.sh script which tries a to create symbolic links into serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux/steamapps, so that automatic mod installation works:

ark-ragnarok@ark:~$ ./arkserver start

Even a complete fresh installation ends in the error, that the links couldnt be created. The fix_ark.sh depends still on old steamcmd installation in the lgsm folder. And the server does not start at all.

Steam from repositories creates for every user that uses it a ~/.steam directory:

ark-theisland@ark:~$ ls -al .steam/

Maybe it would be a solution to do a case distinction (in fix_ark.sh) like in fn_check_steamcmd_exec and in case of steamcmd from packages to link ~/.steam into serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/SteamCMD/Linux instead of /steamcmd as until now.
