swinstall problem

[Stephen Keane]

Ermin,

As far as I know, I don't have PHCO_32116 installed. Unless I've installed a superceding patch.

Can you please try the following?

# mkdir /tmp/foo
# cd /tmp/foo
# tar xvf /depot_dir/foo.depot
# cd catalog
# touch swlock
# swpackage -x media_type=tape -s /tmp/foo @ /depot_dir/foo2.depot

Now see if swlist works on /depot_dir/foo2.depot.

Ermin,

I wish I had more than 10 points to give you!

That not only allowed swlist to work, it also swinstall'ed.

But how did the depot get into that state?

[Ermin Borovac]

Similar problem is described in the knowledge base article I mentioned earlier. It doesn't give out any further details except to say that depot is not "properly packaged" (in this case it was depot for product called SecurePath). Apparently problem will be fixed with the next SD-UX patch with release date still unknown.

I'll have to live with it then. I tried looking up the reference you gave me, by DocId, but got no results.

Solution was as suggested by Ermin.
