Bonjour,

LANG=CLC_ALL=C --> May be you could check /etc/rc.config.d/LANG for bad input

Thanks for your quick response

this is content of LANG, what should there ?

#!/sbin/sh
# @(#)B11.23_LR
# Language preference. See lang(5), hpnls(5)
#
# LANG: Locale name
#
# Note: if using the default C locale, many commands will execute faster if
# LANG is not set.
#
#LANG=C
#export LANG

Re: Urgent swinstall,swlist and sw commands not working

Hi:

What changed last and when? Did 'swlist' and/or 'swinstall' just "suddenly" stop working, or was this the case _after_ some patch was applied?

I'd begin with:

# swagentd -r

...to restart the SD daemon. Having done this, try a 'swlist' again.

Regards!

etc/rc.config.d/LANG is clean. No more idea.

Hmm, this typically occurred when mixing libpthread with libcma? Have you exported LD_PRELOAD?

>LANG=CLC_ALL=C

Are you sure there isn't a space before "LC_ALL"?
