beginning at line 0. The following attributes are not
defined:

Hi,

Document id KBRC00003721 states the following:-

PROBLEM

swlist and swverify commands produce this message:


WARNING: Incomplete definition for the root (installation) "/"

RESOLUTION
Take the following steps to rebuild the corrupt Installed Products Database:



1. As root, go to the directory /var/adm/sw/products:
cd /var/adm/sw/products

2. Remove the INDEX file.
rm /var/adm/sw/products/INDEX

3. Create a file called void.psf in the /tmp directory:
vi /tmp/void.psf

4. Add these lines:
product
tag void
fileset
tag void

5. Create a software package for the product void:
swpackage -s /tmp/void.psf

6. Install void and generate a new INDEX file:
swinstall void

7. Test swlist

8. Remove the void product just created:
a. swremove void
b. rm void.psf
c. swremove -d void

Hope this helps,
John
