Re: swinstall for a package gives error

for 1st your product does not seems to be compatible with the machine.

for 2nd give full path

swinstall -x allow_incompatible=true \path\to\depot

Re: swinstall for a package gives error

I've given full path, but error is the same:

egtmast,sys,root # swinstall -x allow_incompatible=true /var/spool/sw

* Target connection succeeded for "egtmast:/".
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "egtmast" at

Re: swinstall for a package gives error

# swinstall -s **************.sdpkg INSTALLER:************

Please specify the actual line or at least replace by foo/bar or "x" and not shell meta characters like "*".

>I've given full path,

You forgot the "-s" that time. The correct syntax is:
swinstall -s /absolute/path/to/depot

Using "-x allow_incompatible=true" can be dangerous.
