"bash: line 1758: /opt/pihole/gravity.sh: no such file or directory" Centos 7.8

Ran pihole uninstall on CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003.
And when I tried to reinstall using either option 1 or option 2, I would see:

"bash: line 1758: /opt/pihole/gravity.sh: no such file or directory"

It turns out the pihole group still existed in /etc/group. It wasn't removed during the uninstall. I manually removed the pihole group and the new install went fine after that. Just wanted to note that in case someone else gets that error.

Thanks for sharing.

I guess it's the same bug:

github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole
