Installation of depots is failing using swinstall

[Purusa]

Hi,

I am installing Netscape 7.0 using swinstall from command prompt. Installation of first patch i.e. B6848BA for GTK+ libraries is fine with the command-----
swinstall -s /tmp/B6848BA-r2-PA_11.X B6848BA
But when I try installing the 2nd depot with the following command, it FAILS...
swinstall -s /tmp/b6835aa_b.11.00.06.01_hp-ux_b.11.00_32+64.depot B6835AA.
ERROR is as follows:::::::::::::
======= 03/29/04 14:01:36 EST BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=-0065)

* Session started for user "root@".

* Beginning Selection
* Target connection succeeded for ":/".
ERROR: Could not apply the software selection "B6835AA" because it
refers to a bundle or to a product, subproduct or fileset
within a bundle but no compatible bundles meeting the
specification were found.
* Software selection failed for
":/tmp/b6835aa_b.11.00.06.01_hp-ux_b.11.00_32+64.depot".

ERROR: No software has been selected.
ERROR: Cannot continue the "swinstall" task.
* Selection had errors.



======= 03/29/04 14:01:38 EST END swinstall SESSION (non-interactive)
(jobid=-0065)

However if I install in non-default location i.e. by adding " @ /opt/abc/Pankaj " then both installation happens fine.

Installation of depots also proceeds smoothly with GUI as well.
But I require the command only as I have to build a script for automatic installation.

Regards,
Pankaj

Try,

swinstall -s /tmp/b6835aa_b.11.00.06.01_hp-ux_b.11.00_32+64.depot \*

Karthik,

Its great solution. It is working for me.
Can you explain what does "\*" means instead of depot no.?
Also do you have any logic as to why it is not working although syntax and everything is fine.
But the fact remains... problem is solved.

Tons of Thanx

Pankaj,

\* means install whatever software is present under the specified .depot file. It may not have worked with the following syntax,

swinstall -s /tmp/b6835aa_b.11.00.06.01_hp-ux_b.11.00_32+64.depot B6835AA

because I guess B6835AA may not be the actual product ID.
