FreeBSD 8 client - "VRTSpbx is not a valid package" error
Created: 05 May 2011 | 3 comments
The installation of Netbackup client 7.1 software under FreeBSD 8 seems to break the package database:
# pkg_version -v pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! pkg_version: VRTSpbx is not a valid package! ...
Removing /var/db/pkg/VRTSpbx helps, but the pbx package became unregistered, which I believe may affect further upgrades.
Tested on 8.0-RELEASE and 8.2-RELEASE

I'm not sure but I
I'm not sure but I experienced a lot of issues just due to a 'bad' installation package extraction!
Extracting gz package with windows tools by example lead to installation error message (like "Your current working directory must be the client/<hardware>/<os> directory )
here is a link which could help :

Incorrect package name
The symantec package calls itself "VRTSpbx", but FreeBSD packages require a version number. That is why pkg_version is complaining. To fix:
(i.e. rename the pkg directory and edit the @name line in the +CONTENTS file)
