Try installing with administrator privileges. You might need to be root to run stty successfully.

There's something amiss in your package, or you're attempting to install it from a process that doesn't have an attached tty (such as cron or udev, perhaps). The error is most likely in the installer script.

helo i m building my rpm package.
in that for one particular RPM package
I m running some script when i install rpm

I done sh -x %{pdsdir}/shell/COMPONENT/postinstall && sh -x %{pdsdir}/shell/COMPONENT/configure

I found one things that I have total 10 rpm package and I got this stty error message in particular one packages.

another observation is that under configure function I m running

different shell scripts using su - admin -c commands..

when I install this particular package I got the following messages.


rpm -install DBASE-4.1.0.0.23-4.1.0.0.23-1.i386.rpm

export VDIR=/opt/avaya/pds

+ ORACLE_HOME=/opt/dbase/OraHome1
+ exitval=0
++ /bin/basename /opt/avaya/pds/shell/DBASE/configure
+ FNAME=configure
+ print 'NOTE: Executing DBASE "configure"'

/bin/basename /opt/avaya/pds/shell/MTDBASE/configure
+ FNAME=configure
+ print 'NOTE: Executing MTDBASE "configure"'
/opt/avaya/pds/shell/MTDBASE/configure: line 279: print: command not found
+ case $FNAME in

+ exitval=0
+ su - admin -c /opt/avaya/pds/etc/start_db
stty: standard input: Invalid argument
stty: standard input: Invalid argument

Do you even have a user named "admin" on your system?

Consider any errant commands added to any shell startup files. Sometimes users add interactive commands to shell startup files and don't understand why the problems occur during (what they don't know to be) non-interactive shells.
