Summary 0004922: pkgadd fails; corrupted pkginfo file
Description I downloaded 88 CSW packages hoping to run nmap and was adding them in the order recommended. When I got to CSWlibpcre0, ran "pkgadd -d libpcre0-8.21,REV=2-11.12.13-Sun-S5.9-i386-CSW.pkg" the system recognized that package and asked if I wanted to add "all". Of course that was the only package I was added at the moment, so I typed "all" and pressed "Enter". At this point the entire system rebooted without notice. I tried "pkgrm CSWlibpcre0" and that ran, but repeat of the pkgadd resulted in another reboot.

I have not even tried reproducing it on another system, but I've tried a total of three times on this system.

Even more frustrating "pkginfo -l" stops after CSWlibjpeg7 with the message: "pkginfo: ERROR: pkginfo file is corrupt or missing"
Additional Information Output from uname -a: SunOS dfdr 5.10 Generic_147441-01 i86pc i386 i86pc

Based on the description, these symptoms are likely to be caused by hardware failures. Can you check that?

- Faulty memory
- Bad sectors

Any news on this? I concur with Maciej that it is fairly impossible to be caused by the package as libpcre0 is used by lots of other packages and is very well tested.

Additionally, you are trying to install the version from experimental, right?

The version 4.20 from the unstable catalog is unusable old.

Well, then there is nothing that can be done. You can close the case.

Did you get your system back in a sane state? I suggest copying pkginfo from CSWlibjpeg7 to /var/sadm/pkg/CSWlibjpeg7/pkginfo replacing the faulty one.
