    We have a server running Tru64 5.1B Patch Kit 4, and now that
    Patch Kit 5 has been released I wanted to install it.
    Unfortunately, an error while running dupatch occurs:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Problem installing:

      - Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B / Network Patches:
             Patch 26020.00 - SP05 OSFCLINET540 (SSRT3653 SSRT2384 SSRT2275 ...)
             ./sbin/init.d/snmpd:
                     its origin can not be identified.

    This patch will not be installed.

      - Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B / Network Patches:
             Patch 26020.00 - SP05 OSFCLINET540 (SSRT3653 SSRT2384 SSRT2275 ...)

        * There were 1 patch(es) which failed in prerequisite/file
    applicability check:

    Press <RETURN> to go back to the previous menu

    ----------

    After that I can only go back to the main menu, so I can't
    install anything at all :-(

    I have no clue as to why dupatch doesn't recognize /sbin/init.d/snmpd.
    However, we have the HP Insight Manager 3.3.0 and HP WEBES 4.4.0
    services installed , so perhaps those may be related to the snmpd.

    Does anyone know how to solve this error ?
