ssh - HPUX patch T1471AA.depot doesn't load

[Mike Lappen]

I downloaded this patch to install SSH on my new L series box running 11.0

According to HP's Sofware Depot instruction page, once loaded I should run
swlist -d /tmp/T1471AA.depot to verify the patch exists, but I get the following error message:

# Initializing...
# Contacting target "L1500"...
ERROR: Software "-" was not found on host "L1500:/".
ERROR: Software "/tmp/T1471AA.depot" was not found on host "L1500:/".

The file does exist in the /tmp directory and when I ran the swinstall -s command for the file it installed correctly.

Can anyone tell me why the swlist - d command failed?work?

Mike,

Do this

ls -l PATHTODEPOTfile
cksum PATHTODEPOTfile

and compare the output to below, of course I have it in a different directory and a more fuller filename.


# ls -l /var/opt/T1471AA_A.03.10.002_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot
-rw-r----- 1 root sys 8038400 Nov 18 11:08 /var/opt/T1471AA_A.03.10.002_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot
# cksum /var/opt/T1471AA_A.03.10.002_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot

swlist -d confirms if the software is already in the depot instead of the system.

Hi Mike,

looks a type to me...
You wanted installation, that would be:
swinstall -s /tmp/T1471AA.depot '*'

Then you may want to check the installed software:
swlist

Or you wanted to check the depot before installing:
swlist -d @ /tmp/T1471AA.depot

So, did you simply miss the "@" in between?

HTH,
Wodisch

Wodisch is correct. There is a typo at HP's site. In order to check if download was OK, you need to type in -

swlist -d @/tmp/T1471AA.depot

That should work for you.
