Very Computer

Hello,

I got the patch no. 104172-09 for Solstice DiskSuite 4.1 from the SUN
patch server. But I can't patch the product - the script exits in
the dryrun mode with the following error:

pkgadd: ERROR: duplicate pathname </usr/opt/SUNWmd>
pkgadd: ERROR: duplicate pathname </usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin>
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to process pkgmap

Does anybody have the same problem? How can I get information,
if I need this patch for DiskSuite 4.1?

Thanks a lot for any suggestion.

Martin

Had the same problem.  Sun told me to mv the .diPatch to a different
filename(.diorig).  This fixed the problem.  Kind of Cheezy, huh?

This is a known bug (id 4137924).
Edit 104172-09/SUNWmdg/pkgmap and change permissions for usr/opt/SUNWmd
and  usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin from 775 to 755.

I had some problems also with this patch. Something about the
install script is not working properly. I was told there is an
existing bugID open on it that will be fixed in revision 10 of
the patch. In the meantime, to hack around it I did the following:

Try to install the patch as usual. It will fail in the way you
see above, but *part* of the system will think it's installed.
Then, go into the part of the directory tree where the packages
are (SUNWmd, etc) and do a "pkgadd -d ." It will completely
replace the disksuite binaries. Not only that, but for some reason
this also updates the rest of the system and shows the patch as
completely installed. When you do a "showrev -p" at this point,
the patch should show up as having been installed.

You have to do this from /tmp as root.
