SUMMARY: package name too long

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

PROBLEM:

After any (almost) command pkg* I get a error message like this:
ERROR: bad entry read in contents file
    pathname: /etc/init.d/autofs
    problem: package name too long

SOLUTION: As noted by AndrewFlint <flinta@research.natpower.co.uk>, the problem is the corrupted file "/var/sadm/install/contents". My corrupted file has the following entry:

miguel@boss[26] grep autofs /var/sadm/install/contents
/etc/init.d/autofs f none 0744 root sys 585 43936 7743319/etc/init.d/pcnfs f pcscript 0755 root sys 921 7333 815143710 *SUNWpcnfd

        and must be:

/etc/init.d/autofs f none 0744 root sys 585 43936 7743319 SUNWcsr
/etc/init.d/pcnfs f pcscript 0755 root sys 921 7333 815143710 *SUNWpcnfd

        The things are fine now.

        Thanks for:

AndrewFlint <flinta@research.natpower.co.uk>

        and all people that help me.
