Patches and dependencies

To get a taller hp-ux I left several filesets during the initial installation (eg. NFS.NISPLUS). Later when I try to add patches like PHCO_30402.CORE_SHLIBS, those installations fail because of unresolved dependencies. So, how do I have to processed?

- omit those patches with the risk of an instable system
- set 'enforce_dependencies=false'
- install all the unneeded stuff from th os media

Re: Patches and dependencies

Hi,

I'm not shore I understand your question, but if you install PHCO_30402, download the the depending patches into one depot and install the lot.

PHCO_30402 s700_800 11.11 libpam_unix cumulative patch

PHCO_30402 has the following dependencies:

PHCO_24777 s700_800 11.11 mountall cumulative patch

PHNE_29783 s700_800 11.11 ONC/NFS General Release/Performance Patch

Hope this helps,

Re: Patches and dependencies

Hi,

Thpatch has the following dependencies:
s700: 11.11: PHNE_23502
s800: 11.11: PHNE_23502

Have a look at:http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|patch.breadcrumb.search|&patchid=PHCO_30402&context=hpux:800:11:11


You need to have the dependencies resolved first and then you can install PHCO_30402

Re: Patches and dependencies

To be clear: I do not want to install NISPLUS, but I want to participate in all updates for CORE-SHLIBS. If I try to install PHCO_30402 it tells me that PHNE_29883.NISPLUS-CORE is a prerequisite. I cannot install the latter, because NFS.NISPLUS-CORE is not on the machine.

Re: Patches and dependencies

Hi,

To install PHCO_30402 you have to install PHNE_29883.NISPLUS-CORE. There is no way to bypass it. Since PHNE_29883.NISPLUS-CORE is in the dependency list of PHCO_30402 most probably it has some fixes/enhancements which are applicalbe only when certain features of NIS is available through PHNE_29883. Just check whether you really require PHCO_30402.

I see that PHCO_30402 is for:
After creating a new NIS+ user with sam(1m), the new user is unable to login.

If you do not plan to install nis+ then you do not requre PHCO_30402.

Re: Patches and dependencies

Hi there,
If you go through the file "PHCO_30402.text" , it will make everything clear about the dependencies invloved and any other issues, behaviour of the PATCH.

Normally when you unshar the Patch you get two files, one .depot and other .text.
.text file explain's all about it.

Hope that should help.
