"ERROR: list_expander returned an error."

"ERROR: Failed to get the archive size and the list of files which will be

in archive."These are errors that can be generated by one of Ignite's internal programs called "list_expander", when the program has encountered a problem with circular links on the system. These circular link errors can be caused by patch installations, application software installation or by the incorrect use of the "ln" command. What happens is that a symbolic link is created that points back to itself; or is part of a chain of links that eventually points back to the original link. In short, it is a circular loop or circular reference. This is a problem because links are supposed to be pointing to a file.



RESOLUTION

The way to resolve this type of problem is to remove the circular links fromm the. Finding the circular link can be done in two ways. One is to run "list_expander" finding the offending links one at a time and removing them. The other method is to use the find command, which can be used to find more than one occurance of circular links. Both methods are detailed as follows:



Method 1; Using "list_expander"



# /opt/ignite/lbin/list_expander | gzip -9c - > /tmp/file_list.gz



WARNING: '/stand/cirlink' is part of a circular link.

ERROR: Circular link error encountered. Aborting.Uxzip and then inspect the output file "/tmp/file_list.gz" using the "vi editor". At the end of the file shoud be where "list_expander" stopped when it encountered the circular link.





# gunzip /tmp/file_list.gz

# vi file_list

stand/krs_lkg/_stand_vmunix.krs

stand/krs_lkg/system.krs

stand/cirlink <== Circular reference

You will see that the last entry in the file corresponds to the ERROR posted by "list_expander". This file is a circular link. To check it, use the "ll" commmand.



# cd /stand

# ll

# lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 8 Oct 17 11:13 cirlink -> cirlinkTo remove the circular links, use the following syntax:





# rm file_name

Method 2; Using the "find" command.



Since using "list_expander" will not find all of the circular links on the system at one time, you can use the "find" command to find all of the circular links. Any circular links will be displayed on the screen as "find: cannot stat".



Example:

# find / -follow > /dev/null

# find: cannot stat ./stand/cirlink <-- Circular reference

# find: cannot stat ./etc/cirlink2 <-- Circular reference

To remove the circular links, just use:



# rm file_name

Once all of the circular links are removed, the Ignite commands should work correctly.
