Hi Mike
what command are you using to get this error?
And what are you trying to install ?

Hi Mike,


You seem to be running /opt/corp/local/bin/swinstall.

swinstall is in /usr/sbin.

Which OS are you running? what is the SD-UX patch you have installed on the system?

/usr/sbin/swlist -l product |grep SD

Did you try /usr/sbin/swinstall?

Hey mike try restarting the swinstall agent by doing
#swagentd -r
then try again running just the same swinstall command or specifing a target by using the full path with the -s option.
#swinstall -s /tmp/whatever.depot

type
# which swinstall
and
# whereis swinstall
to ensure you're running the correct version.
As root /usr/sbin and /sbin should be first in your PATH
# echo $PATH
