Good afternoon,
I have just messed up and deleted some directories on my UNIX machine.
I would now want to know which packages are impacted by this. Therefore I have a look in the file "/var/sadm/install/contents" (which contains the filenames/directory names for each installation package). After this, I add "ls " in front and "1>/dev/null" at the back, so I get following result:
=> I intend only to see which files/directories have been erased that belong to the package. When there are none, nothing needs to be done. When there are some, the package needs to be re-installed.
In order to do this, I need to launch the "ls ..." output.
I have already tried using a "| eval" behind it, but this does not work.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks
Dominique

contents
contents(4) File Formats contents(4)NAME
contents - list of files and associated packages
SYNOPSIS
/var/sadm/install/contents
DESCRIPTION
The file /var/sadm/install/contents is a source of information about the packages installed on the system. This file must never be edited
directly. Always use the package and patch commands (see SEE ALSO) to make changes to the contents file.
Each entry in the contents file is a single line. Fields in each entry are separated by a single space character.
Two major styles of entries exist, old style and new style. The following is the format of an old-style entry:
ftype class path package(s)
The following is the general format of a new-style entry:
path[=rpath] ftype class [ftype-optional-fields] package(s)
New-style entries differ for each ftype. The ftype designates the entry type, as specified in pkgmap(4). The format for new-style entries,
for each ftype, is as follows:
ftype s: path=rpath s class package
ftype l: path l class package
ftype d: path d class mode owner group package(s)
ftype b: path b class major minor mode owner group package
ftype c: path c class major minor mode owner group package
ftype f: path f class mode owner group size cksum modtime package
ftype x: path x class mode owner group package
ftype v: path v class mode owner group size cksum modtime package
ftype e: path e class mode owner group size cksum modtime package
A significant distinction between old- and new-style entries is that the former do not begin with a slash (/) character, while the latter
(new-style) always do. For example, the following are new-style entries:
d none /dev SUNWcsd
e passwd /etc/passwd SUNWcsr
The following are new-style entries:
/dev d none 0755 root sys SUNWcsr SUNWcsd
/etc/passwd e passwd 0644 root sys 580 48299 1077177419 SUNWcsr
The following are the descriptions of the fields in both old- and new-style entries.
path
The absolute path of the node being described. For ftype s (indicating a symbolic link) this is the indirect pointer (link) name.
rpath
The relative path to the real file or linked-to directory name.
ftype
A one-character field that indicates the entry type (see pkgmap(4)).
class
The installation class to which the file belongs (see pkgmap(4)).
package
The package associated with this entry. For ftype d (directory) more than one package can be present.
mode
The octal mode of the file (see pkgmap(4)).
owner
The owner of the file (see pkgmap(4)).
group
The group to which the file belongs (see pkgmap(4)).
major
The major device number (see pkgmap(4)).
minor
The minor device number (see pkgmap(4)).
size
The actual size of the file in bytes as reported by sum (see pkgmap(4)).
cksum
The checksum of the file contents (see pkgmap(4)).
modtime
The time of last modification (see pkgmap(4)).

As shown above, the interface stability of /var/sadm/install/contents is Unstable (see attributes(5)). It is common practice to use this
file in a read-only manner to determine which files belong to which packages installed on a system. While this file has been present for
many releases of the Solaris operating system, it might not be present in future releases. The fully supported way to obtain information
from the installed package database is through pkgchk(1M). It is highly recommended that you use pkgchk rather than relying on the contents
file.
