Hi,

Try it with the -s option for 'source' not -t 'target'

# swinstall -s /home/pin/tar-1.13.25-sd-11.00.depot

Try;

swinstall -s /home/pin/tar-1.13.25-sd-11.00.depot \*

for got the \*

# swinstall -s home/pin/tar-1.13.25-sd-11.00.depot \*

If that still doesn't work use the interactive part of swinstall. This is all meanu driven and can be easier to use.
