Glad to be helping.

I also realized you may have some trouble with not being able to issue the command "su" as "user". To work around this, simply ssh into your device as "root".

If this doesn't work, I hope you find some solution to your problem.

I believe you installed Epitaph's crapware? The problem is likely to be related to it - in the install.sh script there are these lines:

Code:

if [ ! -f "/etc/apt/preferences" ] ; then
  touch /etc/apt/preferences
  echo 'Package: rootsh
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001' >> /etc/apt/preferences
fi

...which I believe will cause your problem.

If I had accidentally installed this 'app' I would seriously consider a complete re-flash due to the dubious nature of the code - it could include backdoors/password stealing etc. This is only my personal opinion.

Like I said - that's only my personal opinion. It's up to you to decide.
