SUMMARY: pkginfo not working
2007-12-24 23:44:00
My problem was basic... when I logged into
the system a user filled-up /tmp. The
package commands failed with the errors
below. The workd "memory" was the key. I
had an open root session and managed to
clean-up /tmp. The package commands worked
again.

It is part of a cluster. I used ldd and
check all the libraries and the sizes match
on both machines.
Any suggestions as to what is broken?
