    Thanks,

    I tried moving the ROOTLIBLPPFiles section inside the "ROOT Part:" section and re-ran mkinstallp. Same result:

    sbktesaix02# lslpp -l net-snmp.rte
    Fileset Level State Description
    Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
    net-snmp.rte 5.4.1.2 COMMITTED Net-SNMP

    Path: /etc/objrepos
    net-snmp.rte 5.4.1.2 COMMITTED Net-SNMP

    sbktesaix02# lslpp -f net-snmp.rte
    Fileset File
    Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
    net-snmp.rte 5.4.1.2 NONE

    Path: /etc/objrepos
    net-snmp.rte 5.4.1.2 NONE

    I'm sure I'm missing something...

    Got it.

    My version of bos.adt.insttools was 5.3.9.0

    APAR IZ46156 indicates mkinstallp creating blank/empty inventory file(s), so I upgraded to 5.3 TL10 and re-ran the mkinstallp.

    I've got a file listing with 'lslpp -f' now, as well as a proper reply to 'lslpp -w'

    Thanks all!
