    Patch duv40fb18-c0065000-12930-e-20020122 was previosly obsoleted.
    It was superseded by duv40fb18-c0092600-17205-es-20030305

    But I noticed the obsolete patch had been re-released by HP this week.

    I and other customers had enquired of HP what the correct application order
    should be. For general reference by other Tru64 managers, I post the answer
    received from HP here.

    I appears 650 is 'back from the dead'. Hope this info is useful to others,
    to avoid a potential security exposure.

    I'm sorry for the confusion on this one. The 65.00 ERP was never fully
    superceded by the later 926.00 ERP. This is stated in the internal
    associated Engineering Advisory and the public Security Bulletin listed
    below.

    Excerpt from Engineering Advisory:

    These patches can be installed on top of SSRT1-41U, SSRT0742U, and SSRT0759U
    or standalone.
    However, in order to get the complete set of fixes, SSRT1-41U, SSRT0742U,
    and SSRT0759U should be installed before installing SSRT0845U.

    OS Version / Base Level Distributed / Intersecting Files
    HP Tru64 UNIX 5.0A PK3 (BL17) ./sys/BINARY/vfs.mod
    ./sys/BINARY/proc.mod
    ./sys/BINARY/std_kern.mod
    ./usr/sys/include/sys/fcntl.h
           
    HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0G PK3 (BL17) ./sys/BINARY/vfs.mod
    ./sys/BINARY/proc.mod
    ./sys/BINARY/std_kern.mod
    ./usr/sys/include/sys/fcntl.h
           
    HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0F PK7 (BL18) ./sys/BINARY/std_kern.mod
    ./sys/BINARY/proc.mod
           

    Security Bulliten (Public)

    ycode=1000&prodid=117&source=SRB0069W.xml&dt=11&docid=16211

    When the SSRT0845U patch kits were posted the earlier patch kits for the
    previous SSRT0742U SSRT0759U SSRT1-41U for 5.0A, 4.0F, and 4.0G should not
    have been removed from the public web site because they were not fully
    superceded by SSRT0845U. The reposting of 4.0F ERP 65.00 was necessary
    because a customer required this set of fixes prior to installing the latter
    926.00 ERP patch kit.

    Hope this helps explain the problem. We are sorry for the confusion this
    may have caused.
