The patch match operation failed to find patches for target software on "hp" which passed the filter

John Zimmer — Thu, 09 Nov 2000 14:38:27 GMT

I have successfully installed PHSS_20444 but cannot get PHSS_20445 to install. When I use the SD Install and direct it to the local directory where PHSS_20445.depot
resides (created by using sh without error on PHSS_20445 which I downloaded) it says there is no depot software at that location (which is /tmp). If I use the command:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_natch_target=true
-x patch_save_files=false -s /tmp/PHSS_20445.depot
I get the error "The patch match operation failed to find patches for target software on
hp" which passed the filter".
This is a HP 11.0 box and has the base DCE installed. My goal is to install PHSS_17810, PHSS_17811, and PHSS_17812 which were superceeded by PHSS_2044...etc) I have since downloaded the earlier patches but get the same error
when tring to install PHSS_17810 (which has no dependencies). This might be because PHSS_20444 is installed but I would expect a different error.

Hi,
Try changing the permession for the patch depot to 755 and run "swinstall -s /tmp/PHSS_20445.depot". Do not give any other options for swinstall.

For PHSS_20445 it is a DCE Integrated Login patch.

To see what DCE patches are already installed
# swlist -l product |grep DCE

If you still can't install PHSS_20445 and it didnt show with the above swlist, look for the filesets the patch updates.

# swlist -l fileset |grep IntegratedLogin

If the filesets are not on the box or the patch is already installed swinstall will not select it to install.

PHSS_17810 was superseded by PHSS_20444
PHSS_17811 was superseded by PHSS_20445
