genvmunix missing

[Joaquin Martinez_1]

So, what options do I have to actually solve the situation ?

[Ann Majeske]

Go back to the first response you got.

Or, try copying the file from another system again (the system must be at the same version AND patch kit level) and make sure that you preserve file modification date as well as file owner and permissions when you do the copy (e.g. rcp -p).

Thanks for letting me know that.

I assume I woulnd't have any problems after that. The patch kit I am trying to install is the latest. System already has patch 2 and 4 installed.

Hi,
onother trick I imagine could work:
grep for genvmunix in /usr/.smdb./*.inv
cp -p this inv-file to .save
edit the entry for genvmunix to the size & checksum of your generated generic genvmunix.

Since the latest you installed successfully was BL25,you need to put the genvmunix in place that came with patckkit#4 (BL25).


If you still have the tarfile of patchkit#4, you can extract it from there:

# tar xf T64V51BB25AS0004-20040616.tar
# cd patch_kit/Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B/kit
# gunzip -c OSFPAT02503400540 |tar xf - \
./genvmunix

Rgds,
Johan.
