  Itahi Garcia Gonzalez this is the customer APAR I was talking
  with you about on Slack.
  
  
  
  I'm not sure how this is built, but the file
  odtz-softwarels-9.14-s390x.deb\data.tar\opt\ibm\ldk\ currently
  looks like this:
  
  #!/bin/bash
  
  qemu-x86_64 -L /usr/i686-linux-gnu/
  /opt/ibm/ldk/x86_64_update_license
  
  
  
  when it should be:
  
  
  #!/bin/bash
  
  qemu-x86_64 -L /usr/i686-linux-gnu/
  /opt/ibm/ldk/x86_64_update_license $@
  Notice the $@ at the end.  This is needed as the
  x86_64_update_license binary requires the filename as input.

  Yes. Skill Case TS016968464 owned by Troy.
  
  Just a syntax error:
  
  
  
  Local Fix:
  
  Modify the script by adding $@ to the end of the embedded
  
  
  command. For example:
  
  qemu-x86_64 -L /usr/i686-linux-gnu/ \
  
  /opt/ibm/ldk/x86_64_update_license $@
