SOLUTION:- So solution avaliable at note (Doc ID 2247800.1)

Download oracle.eons.client.zip from this Document attachment.

On the agent host Extract it <AGENT_BASE_DIR>/agent_13.2.0.0.0/inventory/Components/

Ensure you have drwxr—– permissions for oracle.eons.client directory.

Restart the agent

Retry the plugin deploy or opatch operations, which should now work fine
