[OmniOS-discuss] Problem updating ms-omniti local repo

Tue Jun 23 16:54:13 UTC 2015

Hello again, 

I didn't notice that the server managing the updating process was running r151012 ... I'm sorry for that. 

I've upgraded it to the r151014. So now:

>>>

I've tried again following your instructions. The problem updating the repo is still here, I get the message: 

>>>

The catalog retrieved from one of the origin(s) listed above only
contains package data for: ms.omniti.com.

This is either a result of invalid origin information being provided
for publisher 'omniti-ms', or because the wrong publisher name was
provided when this publisher was added.

As you can see, the initial error is the same as the one I sent to you earlier. This is the error you told me to ignore earlier, and the process does still run but is stopped by the error above as it tries to retrieve packages. Sometimes it is able to retrieve and evaluate a number of packages before it halts.

Are you able to get all the packages even when you get the initial error when you're trying to update the repo? This is the big question for me.

In case this helps, I did the same process with another repo and it works fine:

>>>
# pkgrecv -s http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/r151014/ -d /mnt/rpm-repo/omnios/r151014/ -m all-timestamps '*'

<<<

If I try again nothing happens (because it is already updated?)

Thank you so much for your time. :)

Hi Javier!

Same here: 

pkg in# uname -a

Ah, that is good.

Yes, this message is annoying. I tried to explain what I think why 
this message appears. However, the repository is good despite the 
message. Just ignore it.

Maybe your pkgrecv simply does not have the -p option. Your version of 
pkg(5) might be too old. This is the version I have in my 151014 system:
