bug: Mage Install runs into "no such file or directory"

[schristoff]

It's somewhere around here

mage Install
installing Porter from bin to /Users/schristoff/.porter
Error: remove /Users/schristoff/.porter/mixins/arm/arm: no such file or directory

@schristoff can you please assign me this ?

Here's some light debug steps I would use to start figuring out what is happening:

Goal: Figure out exactly where the error is occurring.
Assumption: Since the error is about removal of a mixins directory, I can safely assume it is in here - if we comment out these lines (682-683), what happens?

Goal: Figure out how to stop the error
Assumption: We have this for loop iterating over all directories it finds on L657 - what directories is it finding?

End Goal: We still want to copy any existing /bin/mixins over, because if I have an arm or terraform mixin installed, I want to use it with my newly locally built Porter bundle. The goal is to copy over all existing and relevant porter bin * directories, while leveraging the newly built executable.

@sgettys is welcome to share his debugs steps he'd go through as well.

@schristoff

Here are few things to discuss and i noticed-

1. Commenting out line no 682 and 683 fixes the issue

2. But i added some line to Print loop info. Inside the loop then i got some lines with the output-

3. Printed contents of the destination directory
   

The issue is fixed from the point 1 but we can add these debug info if we need more clarity...

or directly i can create the PR by commenting out those lines
