[Pkgutil-users] pkgutil doesn't determine versions correctly

[Vadym C. <vch...@gm...>]

Hi,

I stumbled upon an unusual case, which I can’t solve. Hopefully somebody can give me some pointers.
I have multiple versions of a package made by fpm in the catalog and pkgutil displays all of them:

# pkgutil -a|grep bpub
Duplicate mirror definition skipped (file:///sftwre/bpub/solaris/development).
Duplicate mirror definition skipped (http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/stable).

But if I try to check for an upgrade, I get this:

# pkgutil -c|grep bpub
Duplicate mirror definition skipped (file:///sftwre/bpub/solaris/development).
Duplicate mirror definition skipped (http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/stable).

bpub-tools                5.0.4.70                  SAME                     


Furthermore, if I remove version 5.0.4.70 from the catalog, bldcat and pkgutil -U, I get this:

# pkgutil -c|grep bpub
Duplicate mirror definition skipped (file:///sftwre/bpub/solaris/development).

bpub-tools                5.0.4.70                  4.3.0.44

I can’t figure out this mystery. pkgutil 2.6.6

Thanks,
Vadym
