Summary

0005220: Installation of <CSWlibpcap1> partially failed - pathname does not exist - Solaris 10

Description

Installation of libpcap1 package partially fails because it can not create symbolic links due to pathname problems.

bash-3.2# pkgadd -d libpcap1-1.5.3\,REV\=2014.07.04-SunOS5.10-sparc-CSW.pkg

The following packages are available:
  1 CSWlibpcap1 libpcap1 - System-independent interface for user-level packet capture, libpcap.so.1
                     (sparc) 1.5.3,REV=2014.07.04

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

Additional Information

libpcap1-1.5.3,REV=2014.07.04-SunOS5.10-sparc-CSW.pkg was directly downloaded from http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/allpkgs/ [^] as a single package.
Prior to its installation, common package (common-1.7,REV=2012.11.24-SunOS5.10-all-CSW.pkg) was installed on machine.

Solaris version:
bash-3.2# cat /etc/release
                   Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 s10s_u11wos_24a SPARC
  Copyright (c) 1983, 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
                            Assembled 17 January 2013

Workaround: second installation of the same package returns success. Although, it seems that nothing was even installed on the second try, it just verifies that all is ok, even symbolic links.

bash-3.2# pkgadd -d libpcap1-1.5.3\,REV\=2014.07.04-SunOS5.10-sparc-CSW.pkg

The following packages are available:
  1 CSWlibpcap1 libpcap1 - System-independent interface for user-level packet capture, libpcap.so.1
                     (sparc) 1.5.3,REV=2014.07.04

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.

The installation of this package was previously terminated and
installation was never successfully completed.

Notes
(0010991) dam (administrator) 2014-12-10 14:28	You are using a version of CSWcommon not suited for the version of libpcap you are using. Please do not just install random stuff from allpkgs as it won't work. I suggest to use pkgutil and probably a local mirror with a selection of one catalog (like unstable or testing).
