    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

    Hi,

    I'm asked to patch a security vulnerability & I refer to url

    http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-57769-1&searchclause=

    After downloading the normal unsigned patch from Sun website
    indicated in the above url for Solaris 9, the patch could not install
    (I did "sudo -s" to gain root privilege on our hardened box) :

    # pkginfo | grep -i tiff
    system SUNWTiff libtiff - library for reading and writing TIFF

    Installation of failed.
    No changes were made to the system.

    I verify that the above patch is relevant to my system as follows :
    # pkginfo | grep -i tiff
    system SUNWTiff libtiff - library for reading and writing TIFF
    #
    # cd /usr/openwin/lib
    # ls *tif*
    libtiff.so libtiff.so.3

    Hope I have not corrupted anything & I promise to summarize
    this one.

    Many thanks in advance
