What happens if you just do a "pkgadd -d ." (it should prompt you to install SUNWfoo at that point)?

The output "<SUNWfoo/>" including the trailing slash indicates it doesn't see SUNWfoo as a package, but as a folder to look for a package in.

All,

First, sorry if this isn't the right forum for this.
Secondly, I'm not on the alias, so a cc on the reply would be nice.

So my problem is I have a variety of SVR4 packages which I need to install for testing.

I installed build 134 on a test system, and I can't get the packages to install:

# uname -a
SunOS vscan-host 5.11 snv_134 i86pc i386 i86pc
# pkgadd -d . SUNWfoo
pkgadd: ERROR: no package associated with <SUNWfoo/>
# ls -l SUNWfoo
total 26
drwxr-xr-x   2 nobody   staff          6 Dec  2 09:53 install
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   staff        297 Dec  2 08:02 pkginfo
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   staff      52520 Dec  2 09:52 pkgmap
drwxr-xr-x   6 nobody   staff         11 Dec  2 09:53 reloc

I also tried copying them locally to /tmp and chmod'ing 777/chown'ing to root, and it didn't make a difference.

The package installed fine on snv_133, so I'm guessing it's related to the IPS swtichover in b134.

I thought there were plans to support SVR4 packages for a bit longer, no? If not, are there any easy ways to turn an SVR4 package into an IPS package? This also means I'd need to create a repository somewhere to hold the IPS packages too?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Drew
