I have a K360 running HP-UX 11.00. Recently swinstall stopped working
on the machine. Now when I run any swinstall, interactive or not, it
errors out during the actual install. The error is always a variation
of "Could not access remote file --- in software item ---, due to an
internal error on the remote system." In each case it will have
replaced the file with a zero length file. Is this something anyone
else has run across? And if so what was the solution?

For reference here is a logfile example of what I am talking about:
ERROR:	Could not access remote file "/usr/lib/pa20_64/libCsup.2" in
software item "PHSS_28879.CORE-64SLIB,r=1.0,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP,fr=1.0,
due to an internal error on the remote system.

Kyle,

You might try setting the option "All targets to resolve the source locally"
in 'swinstall' when attempting the install.  I have seen it resolve the type
of problem before...

HTH.

Are you installing from a SD?

If you are you may try to ftp the *.depot file on the local machine. Then do
interactive swinstall and point to the path of that *.depot file.

Kinda weird but I remember it working for me a while back.
