The software run with root privilege, so believe it won't hurt.

Indeed, this script should not be here.

This patch brings fixes from the current 2.2.x stable branch of
fusioninventory-agent. As I said, it only includes fixes. Admittedly not
all of there would be RC.
May problem is, if I drop these patches, the 2.2.3 release included in
Debian will way to buggy in my opinion. If I decided to follow Debian
logic and only keep the changes that deserve a RC, I will have to long term
support on a FusionInventory Agent fork. That's something I would avoid if
possible.

I don't want to force the release team to follow my logic, and I will gladly
follow your decision.

This is the simplied Changes about this patch.
General:
* additional hack for LG screens (#1848)
* additional model for ACER screens hack (#1840)
* fix directory creation error handling with older File::Path versions (#1817)
* fix initial delay randomness (#1809)
* fix spurious null character in decoded strings (#1837)
* better fix for size parsing with HP RAID controllers, avoiding warnings
  (#1807)
* implement model-specific hack for ACER screens serials (#1607)
* Fix: deal with broken last_state file
* Fix: fix HP RAID size parsing
* Fix: virtual machine inventory with VMware desktop
* Fix: add /usr/local/{bin,sbin} in default $PATH
* Fix: non blocking flock() on log file

Linux:
* fix parsing of newer ifconfig output, such as used on Fedora 17
* Fix: collect qemu -drive information (Alexander Evseev)
