New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/33088#issuecomment-926685501 Comment: Regardless of the availability of `install`, I generally prefer things like `mkdir` especially when the permissions are don't-care conditions. One can argue that `install` is preferable in the cases where you want specific permissions, but there are only two here and you've already shown that dropping `install` works around at least one issue. You may want to set a umask in this function, since `install` guarantees a default mode of `755` but the `mkdir` might inherit a umask from the environment.
