pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/tmp/dstreAAAAXaq3z>
So what gives? Why is it looking in /var/tmp ? I'm telling it which package to use, or is it looking for some dependency on /var/tmp to install the package I am trying?
Any ideas would be much appreciated... All I'm trying to do is a fresh install of Tripwire, seems like it should be pretty straight forward, but I didn't build the systems I am working on and each one seems to be a little wonky, no two are the same.
I should mention, this is Solaris 11.2 SPARC
Thanks for any help,
JP
try moving them to /var/spool/pkg and running it without -d.
could also be a perms thing... /var/tmp is the secondary default. If it doesn't see anything in /var/spool/pkg it will look in /var/tmp it would look in those to locations if it didn't see anything in the -d location. I.E. it didn't have permissions to read the file.
Yes, sort of, this tripwire thing has been a real mess. Basically, I was able to update the exec method (thanks again), but it wouldn't run. So I manually tried to start the agent and it wouldn't run, that's about the point I decided to remove it all and start from scratch. Nor did I want to show my total ignorance in Solaris asking a lot of dumb questions, figured a fresh install would run no problem, but so far is just another layer in the proverbial onion that is Tripwire in this environment
which is why I said you can update the manifest and unless you re-import it the change won't take.... now that I know you are on solaris 11.2 I can give you better guidance.
