[Pkgutil-users] pkgutil package install/available mismatch

[Rob R. <rr...@fa...>]

This could be a possible bug. pkgutil doesn't report if a package is
installed if the name of the CSW package doesn't match what it goes by
from the repo.

Here is a case I ran into today.

[root@sun]# pkgutil -c pkg_update_watch
package                   installed                 catalog
[root@sun]# pkgutil -C pkg_update_watch
package                   installed                 catalog
[root@sun]# pkgutil -a pkg_update_watch
pkg_update_watch     CSWpkgupdatewatch    1.0,REV=2007.04.10
4.0 KB
[root@sun]# pkginfo CSWpkgupdatewatch
application CSWpkgupdatewatch pkg_update_watch - Package updates watcher
[root@sun]# pkgutil -v
1.6.1
