Sophos Antivirus for Linux installation aborted: OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

Hi all:

We are experiencing a frustrating problem with installing SAV for Linux v 9.16.0 onto a system running SUSE OpenLeap 15.1 - we have other systems with the same hardware and O/S which we are able to install this on with no issues but this one system is giving me problems.

Install.log in /opt/sophos-av shows the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "SavForLinux.py", line 27, in main
   File "Controller.py", line 123, in action
   File "Controller.py", line 396, in __install

   File "/build/input/python/install64/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1047, in _execute_child
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

I have tried following up on the error by attempting to ensure that the /tmp directory is not blocked from exec [mount -o remount,exec /tmp] and confirmed this in /proc/mounts, as shown below:

   /tmp xfs rw,nosuid,nodev,exec,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota 0 0

but this didn't help. I tried moving the TMPDIR using export TMPDIR= to both /var/tmp and /opt/tmp but neither of those worked either.

I confirmed that the installer I have has worked on other systems, which are supposed to be configured identical to this one. Not sure why or where this is breaking.

All help appreciated.

Thanks,
