The problem appears if you subsequently install UPG-MAN and then reference any of the following man pages: analyzer fnlookup fscanner prepare tlinstall tllist tlremove analysis_dbs The problem is that man is operating on the Japanese versions of the above man pages. Running man on any of the above man pages returns text which looks corrupt. Defect Description: PHSS_5953: /etc/MANPATH was modified incorrectly by the fileset configuration script. If MANPATH contains the following paths, this patch will fix /etc/MANPATH. /opt/upgrade/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP /opt/upgrade/share/man/ja_JP.SJIS SR: 4701300194 Patch Files: /tmp/upg-man.dummy_file what(1) Output: /tmp/upg-man.dummy_file: None cksum(1) Output: 3889334572 2 /tmp/upg-man.dummy_file Patch Conflicts: None Patch Dependencies: None Hardware Dependencies: None Other Dependencies: None Supersedes: None Equivalent Patches: None Patch Package Size: 50 Kbytes Installation Instructions: Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms and conditions for precautions, scope of license, restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties, before installing this patch. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHSS_5953 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_5953.depot 5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the server to install the patch on the server and the clients: swcluster -i -b This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and force all clients to be shut down. WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the patch installation. Installing the patch while the clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to serious problems. The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which you must specify: alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700 source depot path - /tmp/PHSS_5953.depot To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install" from the Menubar. 5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster: - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install the patch on the cluster server. - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install the patch on the cluster clients. The cluster clients must be shut down as described in step 5b. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_5953. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHSS_5953.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHSS_5953.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: It should be noted that /tmp/upg-man.dummy which is included in this patch is an intermediate file that has no value except to keep the patch process happy. The patch process expects replacement file(s) and/or new file(s). This patch merely modifies the existing file: /etc/MANPATH.
