Automation Suite Installer Fails Due To "Are The Same File" Error .

Issue Description:
Users running the Automation Suite installer may encounter a failure during the process. The update script halts, and the operation cannot be completed as intended.

Root Cause:
This is caused by a bug in which the path variable for jq maps to /var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin/jq .

Resolution: The following steps should be taken before running the update script:

  1. Access the server where the Automation Suite is installed
  2. Navigate to the '/var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin/' directory
  3. Remove the existing 'jq' file from this directory by executing the command: 
    • rm -f /var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin/jq
  4. After removing the 'jq' file, re-run the FQDN update script for the Automation Suite Cluster.
By following these steps, the 'cp' command in the update script will be able to copy the necessary 'jq' file without encountering the "are the same file" error, thus allowing the installer to complete successfully.
