Pkgadd error

Hi All,

Good Mng,Here I am getting one error while adding the top package to one of my Aun server.

root@HYDREM01 # pkgadd -d top-3.6.1-sol9-sparc-local

The following packages are available:
1 SMCtop top
(sparc) 3.6.1

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:

Processing package instance <SMCtop> from </top-3.6.1-sol9-sparc-local>
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to make temporary directory </tmp:/installyga4h4>

No changes were made to the system.

I am unable to install this pkg in my server.

looks like the package is trying to create a directory

/tmp:/installyga4h4

instead of


/tmp/installyga4h4


...


mmm, I don't know what's the solution to this, how about trying to create that directory manually and see how it goes ?

Did you type the word "all" after the prompting of thus?

MMMM, this issue is similar to another old bug of packages dowloaded from sunfreeware,

You can try with

pkgadd -d /full-path/top-3.6.1-sol9-sparc-local

Adding packages

Hi LBReddy,

I think in pwd there are lot of pkgs are there.
Once if u get same problem u have to do like this way also.

#pwd
#pkgadd -d . top-3.6.1-sol9-sparc-local

here it will give numbering with pkg.

In the same way if u give above (pkgadd -d /full-path/top-3.6.1-sol9-sparc-local ) it will work.

Regards,
ArjunReddy
