Blastwave is one of the coolest features of Solaris but I recently had a problem where I could not update the version list in the pkg-get program. I got the following error:<br /><br />ERROR: catalog failed signature check (status 2)<br /><br />The way to resolve this problem is pretty easy. First, go to the directory that contains 'wget'. This is most likely to be in /usr/sfw/bin and run the following:<br /><br />cd /usr/sfw/bin<br />./wget http://www.blastwave.org/mirrors.html<br /><br />Then go to the location of gpg (this is most likely in /opt/csw/bin). Then run the following:<br /><br />cd /opt/csw/bin<br />gpg --import mirrors.html<br /><br />This should resolve the situation. You should then be able to do the following to update the version list in Blastwave:<br /><br />cd /opt/csw/bin<br />pkg-get -U<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2691721892040089460-7842736292777584343?l=aurorasolaris.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>aurora7795http://www.blogger.com/profile/03178754226793835116noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691721892040089460.post-86703623119414341882006-12-07T01:12:00.000-08:002006-12-07T01:24:03.431-08:00I started using Solaris UNIX about 3 months ago when management in my office got hold of a mountain load of old SPARC Sun kit off eBay. They decided to use a couple of the rack mounting servers to run some of their applications and I have been detailed with maintaining them. My problem? I've never touched a Solaris box in my life! I am by nature a Mac/Windows user and have never had to dabble in anything but the cuddly UNIX that runs on my MacBook and OS X Server. However, I am happy with my status as a geek and enjoy learning new things. This lil' blog is aiming to provide others in my situation with some tips on how to get around some of the problems that I have encountered.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2691721892040089460-8670362311941434188?l=aurorasolaris.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>aurora7795http://www.blogger.com/profile/03178754226793835116noreply@blogger.com2
