Installation of en_US.UTF-8 failure.
Hi ubyt3m3,
I have done the following:
I have mounted the 5 Solaris sparc CD's and two language CD's using lofiadm to /dir/sol10. That worked fine.
I then ran localeadm -C to create new config file. That worked fine.
I then ran the command localeadm -a en_US.UTF-8 -d /dir/sol10
It complained about not being able to find Solaris disk 2.
I then mounted the DVD iso image with lofiadm. That worked fine.
I then ran the command localeadm -a en_US.UTF-8 -d /dvd/sol10
I have got the following error.
## Executing preinstall script.
## Installing part 1 of 1.
pkgadd: ERROR: class action script did not complete successfully
Installation of <SUNWeudlg> failed.
/usr/sbin/localeadm[174]: /usr/bin/expr: syntax error
I had already installed en_US.UTF-8 on to a test Solaris 10 system using this exact method and exact iso files without any problem. The localeadm and pkgadd binaries on the successful system where slight different to the failed system. I copied them across from/usr/sbin to the failed system and tried again. Same result. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
