I stumbled across this post while having the same issue trying to upgrade a splunk 6.0 forwarder to 6.1.1 on AIX.

There are several files in the forwarder that have read only or read and execute permissions only, tar is unable to overwrite these files.

tar -xf splunkforwarder-6.1.1-207789-AIX-powerpc.tar
....
tar: can't create splunkforwarder/etc/system/README/wmi.conf.spec: Permission denied

ls -l splunkforwarder/etc/system/README/wmi.conf.spec
-r--------    1 user group        6213 May  9 08:29 splunkforwarder/etc/system/README/wmi.conf.spec

My solution was to just chmod the existing files so that tar can overwrite them, but also use the -p option so that the file mode is preserved from the tar archive.

chmod -R 700 splunkforwarder
ls -l splunkforwarder/etc/system/README/wmi.conf.spec
-rwx------    1 user group        6213 May  9 08:29 splunkforwarder/etc/system/README/wmi.conf.spec
tar -xpf splunkforwarder-6.1.1-207789-AIX-powerpc.tar
ls -l splunkforwarder/etc/system/README/wmi.conf.spec
-r--r--r--    1 user group        6213 May  9 08:29 splunkforwarder/etc/system/README/wmi.conf.spec

The result is that any files overwritten by the tar command have the permissions that they were archived with

Another thought on this. To just amend the permissions of the files that exist in the upgrade tar to make sure no other file permissions get changed you can just do this:

tar -tvf splunkforwarder-6.1.1-207789-AIX-powerpc.tar | awk '{print $9}' | xargs chmod 700
tar -xf splunkforwarder-6.1.1-207789-AIX-powerpc.tar

Now any files that will not be replaced by the tar maintain their existing permissions.

Hi,

What happens if you try and extract the archive (somewhere else) without the -p flag. I would normally ony use -xvf.

I see the -p tries to restore the original setuid etc, but since you are upgrading (and assuming therefore overwriting), i'm not clear whether -p is attempting to write UID's to your system that do not exist, or whether its trying to apply the same as currently exist within your installation.

But - You have a permissions issue, so I personally would try extracting elsewhere without the -p flag, to try and narrow down the issue. Following that I would fully understand the implications of -p and then take one file (from my extracted (elsewhere) set, and compare that with why I couldnt restore over the top of it's pre-existing file.

Hope this helps in some way...
Regards
Derek
