Thanks to all, I return the file of a backup, I verify with the utility and
I already allow me to install the patch.

The dupatch tool is basically making a check of this kind:
go into the /usr/.smdb./ directory
for each file whose origin is supposed to be verified, find
the records in the OSF*.inv files in that directory that are
for the file; you can do this, for instance, with "grep" and
for the file in question, you'd grep for the string that's
the . relative path to the file, with tab delimiters:
grep ' ./sbin/init.d/snmpd ' OSF*.inv
and you should find at least the record from the original OS
installation and a record from patch kit 2. The records have
both the size of the file and the checksum (computed with the
"sum" utility). BOTH have to match the file on your system
or the check fails. As long as you find the matching data
in at least one inventory file, the test passes. It's not
a perfect science.
If the /sbin/init.d/snmpd on your system was modified in any
way, even by changing a space to a tab or the like, then the
test will fail, and the patch won't install unless you either
restore a "good" copy of the file (e.g., the one that was in
the patch kit), or "baseline" the system.
