Cannot apply individual patch

[jack cheng]

I try to apply individual patches:
such as PHCO_23963,PHKL_24612:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s /tmp/PHCO_23963.depot

I always got the error messages:

ERROR: Could not access remote file "/usr/include/resolv.h" in
software item
"PHCO_23963.INETSVCS-INETD,r=1.0,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP,fr=1.0,fa=H
due to an internal error on the remote system.

It looks that I can not install any individual patch, because of this error.

/usr/include/resolv.h is a file which is part of the fileset InternetSrvcs.INETSVCS-INETD. You dont have this fileset installed (and this not the file resolv.h). The patch you are trying to install is for the fileset INETSVCS-INETD - which you dont have installed, hence you cant install the patch.

Thank you very for your help.

But even I try any individual patchs, I always got the similary errors:
For examples:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s /tmp/PHKL_24612.depot

It looks that I can not install any individual patches? I feel that some settings in swinstall may be wrong, but how could I find out?

Have you tried to restart the SD daemon;
/sbin/rc1.d/K900swagentd stop
/sbin/rc2.d/S870swagentd start

Whats the output from an swlist command on your server ?
