The patch bundle starts up and finds patches 120900-04 and 121133-02 and so skips their installation. It then starts in on patch 119254-59 and fails telling me to look at the logs. I open the log at /var/sadm/patch/119254-59/log and find this... 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. /disk/trump/ody/10_sparc_1008_patchbundle/patches/119254-59/SUNWinstall-patch-utils-root/install/checkinstall: /disk/trump/ody/10_sparc_1008_patchbundle/patches/119254-5 9/SUNWinstall-patch-utils-root/install/checkinstall: cannot open pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully Dryrun complete. No changes were made to the system.This is a recently unzipped patch bundle and the checkinstall scripts do certainly exist. Any ideas on what the package is really failing on? 3944Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final. Show 3 replies 1.

a Solaris box and was greeted with the following error: 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. /some_long_path_to/install/checkinstall: /some_long_path_to//install/checkinstall: cannot open pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully Dryrun complete. No changes were made to the system. I was beating my head against the wall for quite a while before I decided to give "man patchadd" a try. Thankfully, the helpful https://community.oracle.com/thread/1940333 paragraph was found in a wink of an eye: pkgadd is invoked by patchadd and executes the installation scripts in the pkg/install directory. The checkinstall script is executed with its ownership set to user install, if there is no user install then pkgadd executes the checkinstall script as noaccess. The SVR4 ABI states that the checkinstall shall only be used https://www.flagword.net/2015/02/solaris-checkinstall-script-did-not-complete-successfully/ as an information gathering script. If the permissions for the checkinstall script are changed to something other than the initial settings, pkgadd may not be able to open the file for reading, thus causing the patch installation to abort with the following error: pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully. There is no need to tell, that after the patch was moved to another directory where user noaccess (didn't have user install) had enough permissions the problem had gone. Have safe and flawless patching!

Generating list of files to be patched... Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (exhaustive method) ... Installing patch packages... pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully ....You can workaround this in two ways, one is to make sure that nobody can read all patch files and execute a "pwd" in the patch directory or add an account "install" to /etc/passwd:install:x:0:1:installpatch braindamage:/:/bin/trueInstallpatch uses "nobody" as a fallback if it cannot find the "install" user.
