quick fix: find the checkLatestVersion() function in the shell script and properly escape the offending v? prefix in the regular expression

before:

CHECKLATESTVERSION_REGEX="v?[0-9][A-Za-z0-9\.-]*"

after:

CHECKLATESTVERSION_REGEX="v\?[0-9][A-Za-z0-9\.-]*"

@tobozo I modified the shell script locally and pointed a local fork of ci-arduino (which installs this script on a GH actions runner) at it. Works perfectly for now, thanks for the patch!

Could you provide a PR for that?

[brentru]

@cmaglie Implemented @tobozo 's solution in #2380

Thanks @tobozo and @brentru! However, the regression introduced by 74cdc80 can not be the cause of the error reported by @LRDPRDX. The reason is that @LRDPRDX's report was made 2023-10-16 and the regression was introduced 2023-10-19.

So we can not consider this as resolved by #2380

I just tried to install the CLI with the command above and it went smoothly on a raspberry PI. Are you sure you have the correct permissions for /home/raspy/local/bin?

[LRDPRDX]

Hi, @umbynos . Actually I was able to reproduce this issue on my desktop. More over, I see your comment is after the fix commit has been merged.

EDIT: Sorry didn't noticed the comments and the status is still Open :)

[LRDPRDX]

@umbynos Actually, now I just tried to reproduce it on my laptop -- everything works great. I will check the permissions etc on my raspberry on Monday (the device islocated at my working place).
