swinstall fails on installing "SUDO"

[Dirk Fieremans]

Hi,

I downloaded the "sudo" depot and tried to install it on HP-UX 11.00
It failed with the following error:
* Installing fileset "sudo.sudo-RUN,r=1.6.2b1" (1 of 1).
ERROR: Unknown owner and/or group for file "/opt/sudo/bin/sudo".
SUID and/or SGID bit was not set.
ERROR: Failed installing fileset "sudo.sudo-RUN,r=1.6.2b1". Check
the above output for details.

It seems "swinstall" has a problem with installing the sudo fileset with permissions ---s--x--x and instead takes ---x--x--x.
I have the same problem when installing OpenSSH...
In both cases the state is marked "corrupt"
* Summary of Execution Phase:
ERROR: Corrupt sudo.sudo-RUN,r=1.6.2b1

anybody knows how to fix?

Thanks,
Dirk

Go to /opt/sudo/bin and change the permissions to chmod u+s sudo

Why it happens? Not sure.

I did the chmod, but I can't seem to fix the so-called corruption. I tried a swconfig \* but the error remains:
ERROR: "ops3:/": 2 software selection(s) are corrupt.

It's probably not important but I hate to see "corruptions" on my system. I can't re-install because ti will give the same error again...

Hi Dirk,

There is an INFO file that is part of the depot that contains two lines that you need to change.

"owner 0" change to "owner root"
"group 0" change to "group root"


tar xvf sudo-1.6.2b1-sd-11.00.depot

vi catalog/sudo/sudo-RUN/INFO

...
path /opt/sudo/bin/sudo
type f
size 102400
cksum 3505416709
mode 04111
uid 0
gid 0
owner root
group root
mtime 948880041
...

Now save the file and re-tar the depot. I ran swremove to remove sudo then re-installed. This installed without errors or warnings.
