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
