Full Discussion: AIX custom package install query

Java AIX custom package install query
I have created a .bff package for an app to tbe installed on AIX servers across regions. I am pretty new to the AIX mode of packaging using mkinstallp but I have been able to get the same done. I installed the same on the server in which i created the package and the application was deployed correctly. However when I move the same .bff file to another server and try to complete the install it fails with message

/usr/lib/instl/instal[15]: NMApplication1-AIX.Client.rte.pre_i: not found.
instal: Failed while executing the NMApplication1-AIX.Client.rte.pre_i script.

To get this covered I moved the whole directory tree which hosted the .pre_i and other files onto the target server but this does not seem to work.

Any help on this would be great. I also would like to know if I can use the .bff file only for the package deployment or do I need to move the entrie directory tree sibnce documentation on AIX packaging is basically very rudimentatry and not in depth as say an rpm package or .pkg package

Regds,
Jobby

DH_BUGFILES(1)							     Debhelper							    DH_BUGFILES(1)

NAME

       dh_bugfiles - install bug reporting customization files into package build directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_bugfiles [-A] [debhelperoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_bugfiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing bug reporting customization files (bug scripts and/or bug control
       files and/or presubj files) into package build directories.

FILES

       debian/package.bug-script
	   This is the script to be run by the bug reporting program for generating a bug report template. This file is installed as
	   usr/share/bug/package in the package build directory if no other types of bug reporting customization files are going to be installed
	   for the package in question. Otherwise, this file is installed as usr/share/bug/package/script. Finally, the installed script is given
	   execute permissions.

       debian/package.bug-control
	   It is the bug control file containing some directions for the bug reporting tool. This file is installed as
	   usr/share/bug/package/control in the package build directory.

       debian/package.bug-presubj
	   The contents of this file are displayed to the user by the bug reporting tool before allowing the user to write a bug report on the
	   package to the Debian Bug Tracking System. This file is installed as usr/share/bug/package/presubj in the package build directory.

OPTIONS

       -A, --all
	   Install debian/bug-* files to ALL packages acted on when respective debian/package.bug-* files do not exist. Normally, debian/bug-*
	   will be installed to the first package only.
