Description:

During a new installation of the IPSO wrapper for R55, you may receive the following error.

Installing IPSO_wrapper_R55_0304.tgz
IPSO_wrapper_R55 does not exist previously. Proceeding with Installation.

Running Pre-install script
Running Post-install script
************************************************************
ERROR
An error has occurred during the installation process,
for more information please refer to the:
/opt/CPInstLog/wrapper_R55.elg
************************************************************
Post-Installation of IPSO_wrapper_R55 failed!

Solution:

/config/db/initial contains the lines prior to the new installation:

dynamic:pkgadd:/opt/CPfw1-50-04 t
dynamic:pkgadd:/opt/CPshared-50-04 t

OR

dynamic:pkgadd:/opt/CPfw1-R55 t
dynamic:pkgadd:/opt/CPshared-R55 t

This could indicate that the restore of a configuration set took place prior to installing the same IPSO version and installing the same packages.

It is important that the backup file used to restore a configuration set must be restored onto a system running the same version of the base operating system and all the same packages installed.

WORKAROUND:

After the installation failed you can view the /opt/CPInstLog/wrapper_R55.elg file to see which dependant directory is missing and manually create the dependant directory prior to reattempting the installation. (mkdir /opt/CPshared-50-04 or mkdir /opt/CPshared-R55). In the example below. /opt/CPshared-50-04 is the dependant directory.

*******************INSTALL/UPGRADE PROCESS FAILED*********************
ERROR: CPshrd/cpshared_ipso.tgz depend on /opt/CPshared-50-04
*******************INSTALL/UPGRADE PROCESS FAILED*********************


Another workaround: Disable the appropriate packages by using the appropriate dbset commands. For example:

dbset dynamic:pkgadd:/opt/CPfw1-R55
dbset dynamic:pkgadd:/opt/CPshared-R55
