Very Computer

Hi All,

<hangs head in shame>

I've downloaded the latest patchpro from sun, and like a stupid idiot
didn't read the instructions and installed the packages using

pkgadd -d /export/home/luser/pproSunOSx865.9re2.2

this listed 11 packages, and I blindly installed them all. Now when I
installed patchpro using the setup script it install but doesn't run
properly.

Is there a way roll back these packages that I have installed, and if I
take a note of them, will it put the system back the way it was before,
or has this overwritten some previous versions files.

I have uninstalled patchpro using the uninstall script BTW.

Needless to say, this is not a production server!
Many thanks in advance,

P.

I would check if you console history remembers about outputs. It may
keep the names of the 11 installed packages.

After that I would pkginfo | grep <name>, where the name is name of the
package. Like this:

bash-2.05$ pkginfo | grep vim
system      SFWvim                           vim - Vi IMproved - a
programmers text editor"

If they are listed, it may be a way to delete them
pkgrm <name>

I hope it will not break your system.

Thanks Alex.

I have a note of the packages so I'm going to hunt around on the
Solaris CD-ROMs and try and force install the same packages that I
installed by mistake with patchpro.

Hopefully this will resinstall the original versions over the duff
ones.

Doh!

Thanks again.

P.

Check the history file of the shell that you used to install it. It may
keep something. But anyway, CD will be the best source.
