Description:
The unattended server update installer fails when --installdir is not the default and when '--backupdir' was not given on the command line with this problem:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/nfstmp2/merlin/packages/1.3.0.8957/service-manager/mysqlmonitor-1.3.0.8957-linux-x86-update-installer.bin --mode unattended --installdir /data0/merlin/monitoring/1.2.0.7879/net-qa1/58080
There has been an error.
Error renaming /data0/merlin/monitoring/1.2.0.7879/net-qa1/58080/apache-tomcat to /home/qauser/mysql/enterprise/monitor/backup/apache-tomcat
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to update a 1.2.0.7879 installation which was *not* installed to the default path (see command line above).

Not yet tested on other platforms, but I assume the problem exists also on other systems, like the already solved very similar agent problem bug #31026.

How to repeat:
see above

Suggested fix:
- make update installer working also in unattended mode

Work around:
------------
Please set the "--backupdir <...>" comand line option.
