trying to update PowerEdge BIOS "Make sure the following utilities are in the path ..."

[Albretch Mueller]

~
While trying the update the BIOS of a PowerEdge 1850 using
Linux/Debian/knoppix 6.2, I got:
~
spsetup.sh: line 124: source: buildVer.sh: file not found
spsetup.sh: Cannot find utilities on the system to execute package.

Make sure the following utilities are in the path:

sed stty cut fmt stat look lockfile tail rm mkdir mktemp chmod ls
basename dirname sleep
~
I did check all of these utilities and the only one apparently (or
actually) missing is "lockfile".
~
$ which lockfile
$ lockfile --version | grep version
bash: lockfile: command not found
~
I am not sure (I have tried a number of things) which "lockfile" do they mean:
~
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=lockfile
~
DELL supports RedHat and Susex in their servers. Is this a Red Hat
specific utility? and in case it is, what/how should I do/go?
~
Thank you

 right, but now I am getting the following errors:

 the "spsetup.sh: line 124: source: buildVer.sh: file not found" was an old one
~
 Do you remember what you did when you got these errors?

 Thank you

Dou you have these missing files?? these are some scripts from the dell
updater. Are they executable? Becouse this seems like the binfile filed to
extract correctly.

buildVer.sh
PIEConfig.sh

I dont remember problems like this. I did that year ago. I just downloaded the
bin file from dell support, install the needed dependencies and than follow
the dell guide.
