HI all,
I would like to know, how we can remove a package?
I know that pkgrm will do the job ,but specifying the right kinda package is important..
And i dont know how to figure that one out?
Eg:if i have installed a pkg called virtualbox,
If i do,
pkgrm SUNWvirtualbox ,it says "no such file or directory"..
so how do i figure out the where that particluar package is ?
Also it would be great if you could specify the PATH to the pkg!!!
This is kinda urgent,pls assist(AM using solaris b83)

Regards!!!

Try doing this to find out the name of the package:
# pkginfo -l | grep -i "box".
Be sure to do the next step to confirm this is the right package:
# pkginfo -l <pkg-name from above>

or if you know the name of any binary command that came with this package, (one of the 2 pkgchks below needs a full pathname to the binary/filename that you want to check -- I don't remember whether it's the "P" or the "p". Check that before using these commands.)

# pkgchk -l -P <cmd-name or filename>
or
# pkgchk -l -p <cmd-name or filename>

or

you can find out which package a command/file belongs to by grep'ing for it in /var/sadm/install/contents.

Beware than more than one package may have been installed depending on the application. One simple way to know what were the latest packages installed:
# ls -ltr /var/sadm/pkg | tail
