Hi All,Whenever i execute any command n command line on Solaris 10, i get the following Error message "couldn't lock the package databse" . What can be the possible reasons for this ?Thanks.Regards,Hemil

I think the error is referring to the /var/sadm/install/contents file. It may be because you have a confused packaging command still running, like pkgadd or pkgrm. In any case, this is not the right forum. For Solaris 10 problems you should contact Sun Support, though install-discuss at opensolaris.org might help.
