Analysis

The preinstall hook downloads and executes a remote shell script from 216[.]126[.]236[.]46/x.sh via curl|sh, then installs a cron job that re-downloads and re-executes the same script every 30 minutes for persistence. The package's actual code is a 55-byte stub with no real functionality; it exists solely to run the remote downloader on install.
