new patch naming breaks dupatch delete

Good morning,

The new patch nomenclature has broken our standard method for
un-installing point patches. Perhaps I'm missing something here but we
are unable to find the patch id to use in the dupatch delete command.
The patch id used to be contained in the name of the patch making
identification a snack. It also used to be available if somewhat buried
in the patch readme on the HP Tru64 patch page for the first few 'kit'
named patches, now it seems they aren't even doing that anymore. There
isn't a 'kit' option for dupatch delete and the numbers supplied in the
name don't work.

Has anyone else made sense of this?

Thanks,

Danielle
 

The way that worked:

# dupatch -track -type kit

    Patches installed on the system came from following patch kits:
        --------------------------------------------------------------

        - T64V51AB02AS0002-20020513 OSF520
        - T64V51AB02AS0002-20020513 TCR520
        - T64V51AB03AS0003-20020827 OSF520

# dupatch -delete -name dg -note testing -product Tru64_UNIX_V5.1A
-patch C00457.04
