How to use a DEPOT File to install software on HP-UX

[Horia Chirculescu]

Hello,

I need some help with a depot file (for FibrChanl-01) and on HP-UX 11.23.

Could be the depot file damaged? I have downloaded the file a few times from HP...

I get this::

[mttsrv]:/tmp/a# swlist -d @/tmp/a/HP_UX_11.23.1205_IA_PA_FibrChanl-01_B.11.23.1205_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot

Most likely.  Make sure you compare the checksums.

Can you please check this file from HP?

I got the same value, different than the one that it should be:

openssl dgst -md5 HP_UX_11.23.1205_IA_PA_FibrChanl-01_B.11.23.1205_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot
MD5(HP_UX_11.23.1205_IA_PA_FibrChanl-01_B.11.23.1205_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot)= e042c11e9b5210d1342d7f98faa0b20c

Accodring to HP, this shoulc be

I downloaded the depot file from:

It seems that my Firefox (59.0.2 64bit) was the one to blame... I used chrome and all is as should be.
