Hello Managers,
After a 5.1A installation, I run in a postreboot script the following
command (the patchkit 6 has been untarred in /var/tmp)
# /var/tmp/patch_kit/dupatch -install -kit /var/tmp/patch_kit \
-name root -note 'patchkit 6' -patch all -nobackup -proceed
This worked fine with previous patch kits, but this time after reducing
the number of appropriate patches to 230, the 'dupatch' command produced
the following errors.
Has anyone already got (and hopefully solved :-) this problem?
*** You have selected 230 patches ***
expr: syntax error

when you are returned to the Patch Utility menus.
