Description

Since #4766: rudder-agent cannot be installed on debian. This is due to a syntax error when computin run interval

CHECK_INTERVAL=`expr ${RUN_INTERVAL} * 2`

On some shell, particularly when installing on debian, the '*' is interpreted as a wildcard, which result in a syntax error:

Stderr from the command:

stdin: is not a tty
dpkg-preconfigure: unable to re-open stdin: 
expr: syntax error
dpkg: error processing rudder-agent (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
configured to not write apport reports
Errors were encountered while processing:
 rudder-agent
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

replacing by:

CHECK_INTERVAL=`expr ${RUN_INTERVAL} "*" 2`

should fix the issue
