[Bug]: When running the kickstart script with an Agent already installed it fails mentioning multiple install

[Hugo Valente]

Bug description

When running kickstart to , for example, re-claim the agent to Netdata Cloud it is failing with

Multiple installs of Netdata agent detected (located at '/usr/sbin/netdata' and '/usr/sbin/netdata')

but it is actually mentioned the same exact directory

Note: Workaround explicitly specify the install prefix with the --install-prefix option

Expected behavior

It shouldn't detect multiple installs

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the Netdata Agent with kickstart script
2. Run it again

Installation method

kickstart.sh
