[cobalt-developers] ATTN EVERYBODY: admin panel fails to install packages!

[Bana Yaz <banayaz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Check your admin web server error log
(/var/log/httpd/adm_error)

It is very likely that you will see error messages
similar to the following:

AFTER MAY 4 2001 UPDATE:

open failed: No such file or directory
open of
/tmp/upgrade_dir/RPMS/foobarxntp3-5.93-14.i386.rpm
failed: No such file or directory


THIS LIST DOES NOT STOP HERE, IT GOES ON AND ON. AFTER
ALMOST ALL UPDATES, THERE IS A WARNING SIMILAR TO THE
ABOVE. SOME ARE DIFFFERENT:

AFTER JUNE 18 UPDATE:

/tmp/upgrade_dir/RPMS/foobar: open failed: No such
file or directory
open of /tmp/upgrade_dir/RPMS/foobar failed: No such
file or directory
/tmp/upgrade_dir/RPMS/zlib-1.1.3-25.7.i386.rpm:
MD5 sum OK: 788406ce7fb3e506b36d82527d49182a
exec failed!
Could not run gpg.  Use --nogpg to skip GPG checks.
/tmp/upgrade_dir/RPMS/zlib-devel-1.1.3-25.7.i386.rpm:
MD5 sum OK: 1f3a379833c1c3ac42847c654d8010d7
exec failed!
Could not run gpg.  Use --nogpg to skip GPG checks.


WHICH STATES THAT THE UPGRADE WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.
THESE PKGs WERE INSTALLED FROM THE ADMIN PANEL, NOT
FROM THE COMMAND LINE! AND, THE ADMIN PANEL SAYS THEY
WERE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED. IT IS MISLEADING!

I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE WERE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT
THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM SUN (OR COBALT IN THE
PAST).

THIS SOUNDS STRANGE.

DO WE HAVE TO REINSTALL ALL PACKAGES FROM THE COMMAND
LINE?
