Hi,

I am trying to install a package on solaris and one of the packaging scripts fail unexpectedly. There is a script called "checkinstall" which checks for the /opt space and aborts the installation if /opt is less than 100MB. In my case, even if /opt has enoguh space, the script fails.

This is my script

REQUIRED_SAPCE="100000"
AVAILABLE_SPACE=`df -k /opt | grep -v "avail" | awk '{print $4}'`
if [ "$AVAILABLE_SPACE" -lt "$REQUIRED_SPACE" ]
then
echo "Space available in /opt is ${AVAILABLE_SPACE}KB. ${REQUIRED_SPACE}KB required"
exit 1
fi

The baffling thing here is, we get an error message like this and the installation gets aborted.

Space available in /opt is 450000KB. 100000KB required.

So, obviously /opt has enough space. Then why this gets into the if loop unnecessarily. What could be the problem? Any ideas??

This works fine on our test machines and the issue is happening at one of the customer's machines.

Thanks in advance,
JStone.
