    Hi,
         I am preparing to install ERP's on Tru64 5.1B boxen, no clusters, with
    patch kit 3 installed. Previously, as in when I installed patch kit 3, I
    was able to run a non-interactive dupatch with:

    ./dupatch -install -kit . -name "Joe Senulis" -note "kit 3" -noauto \
              -product all -patch all

    (I do the kernel rebuild as a separate step and I previously did the
    pre-check interactively at which time the dupatch version was updated to
    44-01.) However, when I try to pre-check or install, for example, the
    sendmail ERP, t64kit0020437-v51bb24-es-20031023.tar:

    ./dupatch -install -kit . -precheck_only -patch all
    Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B Patch "ALL" is not available on the specified patch kit.

    Running dupatch with "-patch c331.01" does work.

         So, the question is, did something change with dupatch on Kit 3? We
    have used this method without problem for ERP's with 5.1B Kit 2 and for some
    time with 5.1. Is there a better way to do this or will there be a fix? I
    didn't want to have to specify individual patches when installing ERP's.
    Thanks.
    --Joe
