For the brains trust, I'm trying to update my NVIDIA graphics driver on an OpenSolaris 2008.05 system with a bit of trouble
Here is how it goes $ uname -a SunOS 5.11 snv_98 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris $ pfexec sh NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-177.80.run pkgrm: ERROR: unable to change current working directory to </var/sadm/pkg/NVDAgraphics/install> Removal of <NVDAgraphics> failed (internal error). No changes were made to the system. ERROR: Cannot uninstall the already installed package NVDAgraphics $ pfexec pkgrm NVDAgraphics The following package is currently installed: NVDAgraphics NVIDIA Graphics System Software (i386) 169.12,REV=2008.02.27.09.16 Do you want to remove this package? [y,n,?,q] y pkgrm: ERROR: unable to change current working directory to </var/sadm/pkg/NVDAgraphics/install> Removal of <NVDAgraphics> failed (internal error). No changes were made to the system. $ pfexec pkg uninstall NVDAgraphics Creating Plan |pkg: Cannot remove 'pkg:/NVDAgraphics at 0.5.11,5.11-0.98:20080916T181934Z' due to the following packages that depend on it: pkg:/slim_install at 0.1,5.11-0.98:20080916T185655Z I seem to have an IPS package NVDAgraphics and two SYS V packages NVDAgraphicsr and NVDAgraphics . I have seen a few mentions of this in the forums but none of the suggestions work. Anyone got any ideas? Also what is the slim_install package? cheers alan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
