[SunHELP] RE: patch problem

[David Baldwin]

Just tried your suggestion, and still getting the following;

patchadd -d /tmp/111987-01/

Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
111987-01 are not installed on this system.

Patchadd is terminating.

I read the README and the Install info files, there are a number of
errors listed in there and possible fixes but none match and the few
that are close aren't close enough.

The message "One or more patch packages included in
111987-01 are not installed on this system" is hard to interpret because
the package in that patch is named SUNWspci2 and a long info of the
patch indicates that it is SUNPCI 2.2.2.  The package SUNWspci2 (pkginfo
-l says version 2.2.1) is installed.  It seems to want SUNWspci2 version
2.2.2 installed before it can install SUNWspci2 version 2.2.2.  Is this
some sort of catch 22?

Dave

The patch is in a directory of the same name.  So, I am in;=20

/import/ncprob02/SunPC/111987-01=20

And the contents of "/import/ncprob02/SunPC/111987-01" are;

111987-01         README.111987-01

So, the actual patch is;

/import/ncprob02/SunPC/111987-01/111987-01

Strange, eh?
Believe me, I thought of that as a last resort and tried it, just told
me it couldn't find a valid patch package.

Thanks though.

Go to /var/sadm/pkg=20
1. pkgrm SUNWspci2=20

Looks as if you are trying to add the patch from it's directory=20
[root at nocdesk06 111987-01]# patchadd -d 111987-01/
 try cd ../
then pkgadd=20

Hope this helps=20
