Created attachment 39068 [details, diff]
mattricks-fix-install.patch

Problem is the cd to ${S} which does not match because of the M/m issue.
Patch fixes it.

Now. After installation succeeded, I only can start mattricks as root.
Normal user gets 'Traceback (most recent call last):' with no further information after executing mattricks.py.
Any idea anywhere?

already fixed in CVS.
