SUMMARY: problem with "pkginfo" on Solaris 8

[Bertels, Frank]

Hi, Judith

please try the following (to get the info which pkginfo-file is corrupt) in
ksh or sh (login as root):

cd /var/sadm/pkg
for i in *
do
echo "============================================"
echo $i :
pkginfo -i $i
done

Examine the output for the wrong or missing pkginfo-file (located in the
directory /var/sadm/PKGNAME/pkginfo).

Then you have different ways to solve the problem.

- you can copy a working version of pkginfo-file from another machine to
your machine

- you can try to edit the wrong file

- you can try to install a newer patch to get a working pkginfo-file.



Regards

Frank Bertels





I just tried to see what was installed on a solaris 8 system with "pkginfo
-i" and got the msg: "pkginfo: ERROR: pkginfo file is corrupt of missing".
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Thanks!
