We have two similar Solaris 8 systems.
Fred(production) SUN E450
Pebbles(test) SUN ES5000
Both are running the Lawson financials application and oracle.
Pebbles was cloned using netbackup from Fred in 2003.
The latest attempt to patch pebbles failed because of an error with the
SUNWcarx and SUNWcsr packages. The file /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcsr/pkginfo was
missing from pebbles. This was modified to reflect the current patches on
pebbles and the copied to pebbles.
This resolved error returned from the "pkginfo SUNWcsr" command.
However, we have not been able to resolve the package issues with SUNWcarx.
The pkginfo SUNWcarx command returns this message:
ERROR: information for "SUNWcarx" was not found
This same error is repeated in Solaris_8_Recommended_Patch_Cluster_log many
times
The pkgchk SUNWcarx returns a zero return code.
Below is a file list of /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcarx directory on pebbles.
pebbles:/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcsr#ll
total 72
drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 1024 Apr 12 15:58 install
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 32272 Apr 12 15:57 pkginfo
drwxr-xr-x 117 root other 2560 Apr 12 15:58 save
pebbles:/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcsr#
We have been told from our support folks that a new install of solaris 8 is
necessary. We want to find another way if possible. How do we correct the
SUNWcarx package?
