Remove deleted software (not swreg'd) from the swinstall GUI SW list

[Paul F. Bennett]

When I launch the swinstall GUI and select the ‘Source Host Name…’ (my software depot server) and then select the ‘Source Depot Path…’, I’m presented with a list of software/patches that should be available for install; however, much of the software listed has been deleted from the server but not unregistered. Because of this software is still listed but no really available. How can I clean up that swinstall GUI list of all the software that is no longer available?

Use: swreg -l depot -u depot-path ...

[Deepak Kr]

List the registered depot using:

#swlist -l depot
and then unregister the required ones using

# swlist -l depot -u depotname

depotname you can pick from above command.

That should be swreg, not swlist, for the actual removal command:

# swreg -l depot -u depotname

[Tim Nelson]

And for the future, if you use swremove -d to cleanup / remove respositories there would be no need for this external cleanup.

# swreg -l depot -u depotname
