Pkginfo and pkg list

On Solaris 11, I analyzed the output returned by 'pkginfo' and 'pkg list' command. The packages listed looked different.
For example i tried to list GNU related packages with both these commands and got following output -
pkginfo | grep GNU
system      SUNWa2psr               a2ps - GNU Any to PostScript filter (root)

system      SUNWgcmn                gcmn - Common GNU package
system      SUNWggrp                ggrep - GNU grep utilities
system      SUNWgmake               gmake - GNU make
system      SUNWgnu-coreutils       coreutils - GNU core utilities

text/gnu-patch                                          The GNU Patch utility
text/gnu-sed                                            gsed - GNU implementation of sed, the Unix stream editor
The output could be mean same information, but I am not sure if that is case.
Thanks in advance.

Packages beginning by SUNW are for a very old Solaris release, before Solaris 11, but with some packages we still provide the pkginfo file in /var/sadm/pkg directory for backward compatibility.
Normally, you should use only the pkg command to list installed packages, excepted if you installed yourself SVR4 packages.

    Did a little more research and not to sure if it had anything to do with the "game and/or Haskell " , don't know .But reread the Wiki Downgrade and came up with this . 
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages
    The package ,libldap-2.3.43-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz ,  is sitting on desktop and the one I've installed is  2.4.18-1 so now acording to the wiki would  ; pacman -U pkgname-olderpkgver.pkg.tar.gz.  , be
    wrote as such -
       pacman -U libldap-2.418-1-libldap-2.3.43-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
        or does the package have to be some where else ?  Still learning here and downgrading seems like a good deal ! Also would it resurrect Claws without loss of E-Mail ?

    Claws is updated , but can't find the list , ( ghc-pkg list --user ) , I think Haskell probably needs to be configured and don't have a clue .
                     Shaman icon , when running ,  isn't visible  nor Pidgin ! Use System Monitor to kill it but Pidgin shuts down when window is closed , whats in common with the two and not others , is it still related to the
    Haskell install ? Now the spam icon in Claws is greyed out too .
                      Thanks again for helping out . edit ; forgot to mention running
    locate ghc-pkg list wesley
    and it came back with a slew of apps., !? can't believe they all need re-installed , maybe base packages for them will reinstall what it wants to set it straight ????

  • My Mac won't install mpkg and pkg files.

    My Mac won't install mpkg and pkg files.  Whenever I double-click an pkg or mpkg file, I get the dialog box to "choose an application" to open it.   After some searching, I discovered I do not have the installer.app.  I tried to Repair Disk from my Snow Leopard DVD but every time it boots from the DVD, my computer crashes.  Any suggestions?

    You have the installer app.  It is located in /System/Library/CoreServices. 
    Use the finder's Go menu, Go to Folder... and type /System/Library/CoreServices to open the CoreServices folder.   You should see it in there. If you do not see it there then that would beg the question what else might be missing and perphas you need to do an update (re)install (or restore form a hopefully good backup).
    To try to reassoicatate .[m]pkl's with the Installer, take one of your .[m]pkg's and do a finder Get Info on it and set the Open with... to the Installer app.  If the Installer app is not shown use Other... at the bottom of the list to navigate to the CoreServices folder and select Installer.  Then click the Change All... button.
    I am not sure why your [.m]pkgs would have lost their Launch Services association with Installer in the first place (unless it really is missing).

  • Plug-in for bullets and numbered lists in Mail??

    Does anyone know of any plug-ins for the Mail app to do bullets and numbered lists like Entourage??
    The lack of this functionality really makes Mail kinda lame and unusable for me.
    Thanks!

    Paul,
    the fact that Mail does not support bullit lists is not an oversight but was done on purpose. It may look good on your computer when you compose the message, but you have little influence in the way recipients see that message. It can get very messy, I can assure you.
    If you want a perfect layout, compose in a wordprocessor and save as PDF, send that as an attachment.

  • Difference between Combo Box and Dropdown List

    Hi All,
    I would like to know the difference between the elements 'Combo box' and 'Dropdown List' in VC. I am facing an issue where i am invoking an entry list and the output of the first element the entry list returns is getting reflected as the output for all the elements...
    So even if 2nd and 3rd row of the o/p from the entry list is giving only 2 items, if the 1st row returns only 1 then we are able to see only 1 item. Its as if the 1st row decides the items to be returned for all the rows.
    Please help.

    Hi Hezi,
    I have 2 columns in my table. First column is 'material number' and the 2nd one is 'production version'. There can 1,2 or 3 production version for each material. [This information is stored in the backend] This is retrieved through a method which invokes a bapi which in turn retrieves from the backend.
    I have provided a dropdown list for the 'production version' column. Lets say there are 2 rows. Material 1 and material 2. Lets say material 1 has 1 production version and material 2 has 2 production version. So rightfully speaking i should have 1 option in the dropdown for material 1 and 2 for material 2.
    But what i seeing is only 1 option for both the materials. This is wrong.
    Is there something that can be done to ensure that each row reflects the correct no. of options in the dropdown?

  • How do I get a new email account to show in accounts and mailbox list

    I have added a new email account to my iPod OS5 but I can't access it.  It doesn't show up in my mailbox or account list.  How do I ge this new account to show up in these lists so that I can access the account?

    I tried a reset and it didn't help.  I have already added one gmail account and it shows up in both my "inboxes" and "Accounts" list.  Still can't access my second gmail account.  When I try to add the new gmail account again, I get the message that this account has already been created.  I have deleted the account and added it again with the same problem resulting.  Any other suggestions?

  • How can i re-link .mpkg and .pkg files to hidden Installer?

    I am near the end of the process of setting up my new Mac Pro (early 2009) eight core. Quite the wonderful difference from my "Mirror Drive Door" dual 1.25 GHz machine!
    The Mac Pro came with Mac OS X 10.6.2 installed. I updated this to 10.6.6 via Software Update along with a slew of other updates presented there. I downloaded and installed a bunch of software. Finally, I was ready to install iLife 11 from the "CPU Drop-in" DVD that was on top of the box when the computer was originally unpacked.
    Unfortunately, it wouldn't even begin the install. The "iLife.mpkg" file, when double-clicked, returned the error message "no application associated with this document". Hours of investigation reveals that NO .mpkg or .pkg file will open; doing a "get info" on the files reveals that those files have lost their link to the Installer app.
    AND since the only installer I can find is hidden in /usr/sbin, there is no way I can re-link .mpkg and .pkg files to it via "get info".
    I downloaded Pacifist and used it to open the "Mac OS X 10.6.6 Combo" package and re-installed the Combo updater. Much to my surprise, that didn't fix the linking issue.
    I've logged in as root, but still can't re-link the package files to the Installer as /usr/ is still hidden. Is there a way I can temporarily "un-hide" the /usr directory so that "get info; open with" can see it?
    I've started from the Mac OS X installer DVD and repaired permissions on the hard disk and "repaired" the hard disk. No luck there either.
    I did a clean install of Mac OS X 10.6.2 to a different hard drive and applied the combo updater and the packages worked as expected there. So some software I installed or by running a slew of updaters via Software Update broke the link between packages and the Installer.
    I'm sure that re-linking to packages to the hidden installer app can be done via Terminal and possible other ways, but I don't know how to do it.
    Short of doing a complete Mac OS X 10.6 re-installation and update and having to re-do several days of other software installations and data transfers, I'm hoping someone will offer some solutions or tips on how to solve my problem.
    How do I re-link .mpkg and .pkg files to the Installer?

    Thanks for the reply. I know I had previously checked for the missing installer in /System/Library/CoreServices/ and I rechecked and it's still not there. But your tip spurred me to check the test 10.6.6 installation on the other hard disk and yes! It's there!
    A quick copy from the second hard disk to my current hard disk and doing the "get info" trick and everything now works wonderfully. Only one day lost to trying to figure this out. Now that the problem is fixed, quite the relief.

    I have just updated my phone in icloud and I have lost all my data including my large music collection from itunes. How can I recover my music and phone list?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

  • Week view and task list solutions? Solved: a way to sync notes to Mac.

    I've been using a Palm Tungsten T5 for years and routinely rely on the Palm's Calendar week view feature and task list. The week view is indispensable to see where I can fit in appointments. Are there any ways to achieve the same functionalities on the iPhone, whether using built-in iPhone apps or third party apps? The task list would have to include item priorities, due dates, alarms, and ideally repeating events.
    I have found a way to sync notes from the iPhone to my Mac using MarkSpace's The Missing Sync for iPhone; notes are synced to the MarkSpace "notebook" application, where you can edit the notes (and copy and paste) and sync them back to the iPhone. This doesn't sync notes with any Apple applications, though.
    If I could solve the week view and task list omissions, I could see my way to replace my Palm with an iPhone. (And when ePocrates releases a full suite for the iPhone, I'll be all set.) But in the absence of these, I'll have to keep using a Palm.

    I'm in the same boat, unfortunately.
    As a life long Palm-User the PIM-functionalities of iCal can only be described as "rudimentary". It is nowhere near DateBk6 for example. And I would be just fine if it would come close to say 50% of it's functionality. Right now it's at about 25%.
    - no repeating tasks?
    - no tasks+calendar in one view?
    - no week view?
    - no icons for event/task categories?
    Come on Apple, such a great device with the amazing screen resolution, horizontal view etc. and you are not taking opportunity of it and get beat by 10 year old PDA's?

    Dear Experts,

    Kindly Let me know what is the best way in which we can handle this situation.
    Regards,

    Are you sure you want to do that? You will create inconsistencies between the systems which will jepardise future tests. I suggest you just train end-user to do the procedure him/her self. I don't think it costs so much time to transport a couple of requests.

  • BRFplus and creation of info record and source list

    Hi there.
    I would like to use BRFplus to fill out MM values and after that automaticly create info record and source list for this MM record. The first step is ok, but creating IR and Sourcelist I am not sure. What is the best way to do so?
    -> Calling FM? If so how should I use the Result Data Object and Dispatcher field in BRFplus?
    Thanks in advance.
    Per Zanchetta

    Hi,
    Yes could call FM using BRF+ Procedure Call-Function Module. And map the exporting parameter (results of FM) to BRF+ ruleset parameter and do the further processing.
    When you assign FM name then in below container UI you can add all required parameters using "Add Parameter" button.
