I have recently downloaded the tcpdump solaris8 package from
sunfreeware.com namely, tcpdump-3.7.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz

I placed the file in /tmp and when I ran ..

pkgadd -d ./tcpdump-3.7.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz

... I got ...

pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/tmp/dstreAAAZMaWTZ

and then when I ran ...

pkgadd tcpdump-3.7.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz

... I got ...

pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/spool/pkg>

Is this a corrupt package?

Thanks

Andy
