Hi,
I'm asked to patch a security vulnerability & I refer to url
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-57769-1&searchclause=
After downloading the normal unsigned patch from Sun website
indicated in the above url for Solaris 9, the patch could not install
(I did "sudo -s" to gain root privilege on our hardened box) :
# pkginfo | grep -i tiff
system SUNWTiff libtiff - library for reading and writing TIFF
#
# patchadd -d ./114219-11
Checking installed patches...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Patch 114219-11 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/114219-11/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.

The following packages are available:
1 SUNWdtim Solaris CDE Image Viewer
(sparc) 1.5,REV=10.2002.03.13
2 SUNWolrte OPEN LOOK toolkits runtime environment
(sparc) 3.7.0,REV=1.2001.10.12
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:

## Executing checkinstall script.
PaTcH_MsG 8 Version 1.5,REV=10.2002.03.13 of SUNWdtim is not installed on this system.
checkinstall script suspends
Installation of <SUNWdtim> was suspended (administration).
No changes were made to the system.
There is 1 more package to be installed.
Do you want to continue with installation [y,n,?] y
Processing package instance <SUNWolrte> from </home/9mydir/patch/114219-11>
OPEN LOOK toolkits runtime environment

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.
## Executing checkinstall script.
/home/9mydir/patch/114219-11/SUNWolrte/install/checkinstall: /home/9mydir/patch/114219-11/SUNWolrte/install/checkinstall: cannot open
pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully
Installation of <SUNWolrte> failed.
No changes were made to the system.
I verify that the above patch is relevant to my system as follows :
# pkginfo | grep -i tiff
system SUNWTiff libtiff - library for reading and writing TIFF
#
# cd /usr/openwin/lib
# ls *tif*
libtiff.so libtiff.so.3
Hope I have not corrupted anything & I promise to summarize
this one.
Many thanks in advance
