[ECOS] ecosadmin.tcl problem

[Olaf Peters]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the net-1.0b1.epk package, which I downloaded from the
RedHat site. First I tried with the PkgAdmin.exe tool, running on Win-2000.
PkgAdmin failed so I tried the ecosadmin.tcl script from the command line,
which failed as well giving the following output:

$ cygtclsh80 ecosadmin.tcl add /cygwin/tmp/net-1.0b1.epk
ecosadmin error: extracting pkgadd.db:
child killed: write on pipe with no readers
/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/usr/bin/tar: pkgadd.db: Not found in archive
/usr/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


I viewed the ecosadmin.tcl script and when I changed
"exec > $ecosadmin::null_device gunzip < $abs_package | tar xf - $datafile"
into
"exec > $ecosadmin::null_device tar xf $abs_package $datafile"
all runs well if I gunzip the net-1.0b1.epk manually myself.

Any suggestions?

TIA,
Olaf.

I had exactly the same problems. I manually unpacked, moved the source 
files into my source trees, and appended the cdl file to the main cdl. I'm 
pretty sure it's something to do with binary vs text mode mount points in 
cygwin, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it.
