swinstall problem

[Ermin Borovac]

Have a look at KBRC00016523. It may be relevant if you have the latest SD-UX patch (PHCO_32116).

2. mkdir /tmp/queue

3. find . -print | cpio -pdmux /tmp/queue

4. rm -rf /var/adm/sw/queue/*

Biswajit,

I checked the directory, there are log files, but they are all empty (zero bytes).

Ermin,

I don't know what KBRC00016523 is?

[Stephen Keane]

Robert,

I tried the fix you suggested, but the problem remains. Should I delete /tmp/queue now?

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

Hi Stephen,

I don't think the /var/adm/queue dir holds vital info.

Is the /depot_dir directory a nfs filesystem ? (firewall ?)

The depot I'm trying to install is local, no NFS/Samba or anything like that. I did think about patches, and ran a patch assessment. I downloaded the latest Gold bundle (June) some 450 odd MBytes, thanks HP!

Curiously, I had no problem installing the patch bundle, though that was a depot too.

Maybe the depot I'm using has a problem? Is there any way of checking it for integrity?

[Greg Vaidman]

to verify the integrity of the depot, run swverify -v "*" @ /path/to/depot

[Mateja Bezjak]

See if the depot is registered?
swreg -l depot

Regards,
Mateja

Greg,

I ran the swverify command you suggested, but it failed sying there was no installed software at the depot location. Which there isn't, as it won't bloody install it!
