[rescue] pkgadd failure - checkinstall

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

its all to do with permissions

part of pkgadd runs as nobody or sys or one of the other users.

you will need to allow read access for all to the package tree.

Subject: [rescue] pkgadd failure - checkinstall


Hi,

I posted this on SunHELP, but haven't had any responses (I know, it
hasn't been that long...), and there are folks here who aren't there, so
I crosspost. So shoot me.

---------------


I seem to be having a problem adding packages or patches to my system
(Ultra 10 with a fresh install of Solaris 8). It fails with an error
that says

pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully

I can run the checkinstall script manually with no problems, but when I
try to run pkgadd or install a patch cluster, it fails miserably.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
