Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** This is fixed in 1.4.1. There was a regression between 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 that caused Packaging Utility to copy updates from composite type repositories with this result.
Problem conclusion
This is fixed in version 1.4.1. Here is the text of the technote I wrote to workaround this problem and fix your repository. I have replaced "1.4.1" with "1.3.3" for user problems now: After downgrading to Packaging Utility 1.3.3, users will no longer run into this error and products can be copied and installed successfully. To fix the local repository containing the product that was copied with Packaging Utility 1.3.4 or 1.4, users can do the following: In the local repository folder, remove the file "repository.xml". In the local repository folder under the directory "Offerings/", remove the product .jar file of the incorrectly copied product. Note: If users are unsure what the product .jar file would be called, the format is [Id]_[Version].jar. They can find the Id and Version via Packaging Utility by selecting the offering and viewing its information. Using Packaging Utility 1.3.3, re-copy the product back into the repository. Note that this copy will be very fast as the repository artifacts were copied in the previous attempt.
