Summary: 0003023: pkg-get fails to bootstrap wget
Description: Just downloaded pkg-get from http://opencsw.org/pkg-get [^] to a Solaris 8 box. As i didn't have wget, pkg-get offered me to download one via ftp. This however fails, as $MASTERBASE isn't set correctly.

# This is only for fallback purposes in extreme measures
# The target package must be UNCOMPRESSED in any way!!
MASTERSITE=${MASTERSITE:-ftp.ibiblio.org}
MASTERBASE=${MASTERSITE:-pub/packages/solaris/opencsw/current}

Even when this is corrected, the installation fails. See second invocation in additional information.

The suggestions made by pkg-get on where to get wget ($SITE/wget) after failing to download / install wget don't help either, because no wget can be found there. Unfortunately the wget download links on http://opencsw.org/pkg-get [^] are broken also.
Steps To Reproduce:
Additional Information: # pkg-get -U
ERROR: no working version of wget found, in PATH
( /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/lo

Urrrr. drat.

Please try replacing


MASTERBASE=${MASTERSITE:-pub/packages/solaris/opencsw/current}


with
MASTERBASE=${MASTERBASE:-pub/packages/solaris/opencsw/current}

and seeing if it works for you.

I'm thinking it will NOT; that it also needs a patch around line 1289, to change

anonymous
cd $MASTERBASE/$CPU/$OSREV

to be


anonymous
pkg-get-user
cd $MASTERBASE/$CPU/$OSREV



but please let me know what works.

See the second (!) invocation of pkg-get -U in that "additional information" field. That is where i had corrected MASTERBASE as you suggest now. ;) The FTP login went smoothly so the second issue you are refering to was not a problem in my case.

Instead please look at the dependency error messages, pkgadd seems to bail out because it can't find the CSWcommon dependency for CSWwget (which is obvious as it is just trying to get the whole catalog download thingie started by installing CSWwget ...).

What about just distributing a wget binary with CSWpkgget like CSWpkgutil does it? Seems less error prone to me.

I guess you didnt read, or follow, the message that pkg-get prints out:

"PLEASE IGNORE DEPENDANCY WARNINGS ON INSTALL"

:P

or rather, i guess it is not explict enough, because what you are expected to do, is type "y", when it prompts you whether you want to install it even though dependancies are missing.
ok, i'll tweak it to also use the "admin-fullauto" file to install it.
more later

"what you are expected to do, is type "y", when it prompts you whether you want to install it even though dependancies are missing."

"pkg-get -U" doesn't give you the option to do that. It downloads the missing wget and bails out when it can't resolve the dependencies. I just verified this in a fresh Solaris 10 zone. If you want to try this for yourself, install pkg-get, drop /usr/sfw/bin from the PATH in line 2440 and call "pkg-get -U".

Looking at my code, it would appear that I have already fixed this issue.
Please check the current pkg-get ( pkg-get -v|grep SCCS should report 4.11)

and tell me if it performs as expected for you.

System without /usr/sfw/bin/wget still shows problems.

It would appear that pkg-get was reporting accurately.

"wget package is not right".

It was CHANGED :-(

will release an updated pkg-get to handle both old and new wget packages. grrr.
