So 7.5.0.5 will also fail. The problem is inside the unbundle_pkg routine of the postinstall script. In 7.5.0.4 (and later) they added a routine to detect the file size.
pkg_file_size_req="`gzip -cd ${gzip_file} | tar tvf - 2>&1 | head -1 | awk '{print $3}'`" This expression returns different - without the awk argument it would print as: tar: 36861 blocks + 5632 bytes (total of 377462272 bytes = 368615.50k). Instead with GNU tar, it would print as: -rw-r--r-- root/bin 377459712 2012-09-17 10:30 SYMCnbclt.pkg Oddly enough, the problem does not exist on Solaris 10 x86 - only SPARC. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by ste...@rider.edu via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
