Pkgadd error: .... /usr/bin/cpio: invalid option -- D
Happy new year to you all. I am facing the problem with pkgadd. It was just
fine, but after installing some packages like cpio-2.4.2-sol8-sparc-local,
binutils-2.11.2-sol8-sparc-local,battlebots-1.0.0-sol8-sparc-local etc it became
problematic. All the pkgs fromhttp://sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc8.htm;
Here is the details of my prob:
bash-2.05# pkgadd -d xpm-3.4k-sol8-sparc-local
