Hi,
Received several suggestions (I appreciate it) but it's still not
resolved yet. I've inserted below replies to requests for more
information :
A)I've verified that all directories/file under the patch
directory has world read, rerun patchadd/pkgadd &
still got the same error. Then I issued "umask 022"
from another suggestion & rerun again & still getting
the same error
B)return status code is 5 :
one reply asks for "echo #?" to see what's the
status code but it always give a blank output
& so I issued "echo $?" which gave "5" as
follows (note: pkgadd returns "3") :
# patchadd -d /home/9mydir/patch/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.
# echo $?
5
C) Content of /var/sadm/patch/114219-11/log :
(I've inserted in between **...** my remarks) :
Package not patched:
PKG=SUNWdtim
Original package not installed.
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.
** I believe this is because 114219-11 contains 2 **
** packages, SUNWdtim & SUNWolrte, & SUNWolrte **
** is already installed : **
** # pkginfo | grep -i Wolrte **
**system SUNWolrte OPEN LOOK toolkits runtime environment**
/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
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.
Do I need to do "pkgrm" to remove a certain package which
may be hindering this or is it this patch is not applicable as
this box is missing some pre-requisite packages?
Thanks
