swinstall - swlist fails with errors
It started while installing patches and got the following errors:
ERROR: Ambiguous version tag encountered. Please contact the depot packager for a depot with all version attributes filled in.
If all version attributes are already filled in, check your installed products for ambiguous version tags.
SO I ran swverify to look for any corruption and got the following":
ERROR: There is currently no installed software on host "moonchild" at location "/".
* Target connection failed for "moonchild:/".
tried recreating the index following the itrc doc but still getting the same errors:
# swlist -l file void
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "moonchild"...
ERROR: The expected depot or root does not exist at "/".
ERROR: There is currently no installed software on host "moonchild" at location "/".
# swinstall -x ask=true -s /var/spool/sw/void.depot \*
======= 09/03/09 11:45:14 PDT BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=moonchild-0358)
* Session started for user "root@moonchild".
* Beginning Selection
* "moonchild:/": This target does not exist and will be created.
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "moonchild" at location "/var/spool/sw/void.depot". Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with "/").
nslookup resolves successfully both ways.
Thank you in advance

Re: swinstall - swlist fails with errors
Verify that you can resolve your hostname to an address and vice versa.
Try restarting the 'swagentd' daemon:
# swagentd -r
Verify that you have an Installed Product Database (IPD):
# ls -lR /var/adm/sw
If the IPD has been removed, either restore it from backup or plan not to use any SD tools until you re-install.
Regards!

Re: swinstall - swlist fails with errors
I read you've followed a procedure from an itrc doc to rebuild INDEX, where is this document? Please provide link.
Best regards,
Fabio

Re: swinstall - swlist fails with errors
Then it must be corrupted. Otherwise swlist should be able to list the software installed on this server and come up with the basics at the least, even this was a fresh install.
You can try rebuilding it. Please see the step-by-step procedure in this thread:

Re: swinstall - swlist fails with errors
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host.
but if I keep the INDEX file in place it works fine. I then installed an SD-UX cumulative patch under 11.11 and worked fine.
but when i try to install the OV patch PHSS_38511 it fails with:
ERROR: Ambiguous version tag encountered. Please contact the depot packager for a depot with all version attributes filled in.
If all version attributes are already filled in, check your installed products for ambiguous version tags.

So if I understand correctly, it is just with _this_ patch that you have a problem.
Have you tried using the superseding patch?
PHSS_39501
