Q$INSTL Package From Savant Does not Import

Hi,

On January 2 this year (for troubleshooting purposes) I imported a database from one of our clients. The import was fine, except for a few objects that did not compile. Since these objects were not part of our application and did not appear to interfere with our application, we ignored them. We made some application changes to the database, created an export, and returned the dump file to our client. The log file indicated no unusual errors.

Our client has encountered difficulties importing the dump file. The import crashes on a package called Q$INSTL with the "end of file on communications channel" error. The package is wrapped, but a comment at the top says it is written by Savant. There is additional evidence to indicate the package is used to control changes to existing packages. When we test the import here, we also receive the "end of file on communications channel" error. However, if the dump file with no changes is imported, (which also includes the wrapped Q$INSTL package), the import completes successfully.

Can anybody tell me anything about the Q$INSTL package and how it impacts a database? Any way to get around this problem?

Thanks for any input!

Sam Bootsma
