What were you trying to do?
update a sun from 8.3 to 8.4
What went wrong?
during the update the following was printed:
> Performing local OS changes
> chroot: No such file or directory
> Re-copying config files after OS update
Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
This seems to have been caused by the following line in oschanges:
> chroot ${UPDATE_ROOT:-/} /usr/bin/catman -w -M /usr/openwin/share/man:/usr/dt/share/man:/usr/share/man
I believe this happens because chroot chroot's to $UPDATE_ROOT and
then tries to run /usr/bin/catman which is a link to /os
/usr/bin/catman, and os is a link into /afs. I assume that AFS is
mounted as /afs in the miniroot and not in $UPDATE_ROOT, and thus it
cant find catman. If I'm confused about where AFS is mounted during
the miniroot update, then I have no idea what the problem is.
