It turns out that setld is fairly picky about its parameters. Dr. Thomas
Blinn reported:
setld is a complicated shell script that depends heavily on the directory
hierarchy in the kit being correct, and there are a few places where it
just
doesn't figure out paths correctly, and then it passes bad paths to other
components like pax which then fail miserably.
In fact, Compaq knows about the problem, and I've been informed of the
following revised release notes regarding sys_check:
4.1.10 Do Not Use Current Directory Character with setld
Do not specify the current directory "." character as the location
argument for setld, as shown in in the following example:
% cd /mnt/ALPHA/BASE
% setld -l .
Instead, use the directory path as the location argument, for example:
% setld -l /mnt/ALPHA/BASE
I specified the full path and I get all my packages successfully installed.
Thanks for the usual quick reponses, especially from
