Duplicate software bundle entries on swlist

We just upgraded our K20 box's OS version from 10:20 to 11.00. After completing OS upgrade, I noticed that the duplicate software entries, one from OS 10.20 and the other from 11.00 showed up on swlist listing like below:
B3900AA_APZ B.10.20.03 HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle for HP-UX 10.20 (S800)
B3901BA B.11.02.02 HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle for HP-UX 11.00 (S800)

How can I get rid of one from 10.20? Is it safe to use SWREMOVE or should I use SWMODIFY?

Thnaks for your help!

Hi:

'swremove' is used to remove products or patches from the IPD.

Hello ,

you can check if you have a ".2" directory for the product in /var/adm/sw/products

check the INDEX file in that .2 directory and check if it indicates if it is 11.0 or 10.20 version.
Keep the directory with the 11.0 rev. in /var/adm/sw/products and get rid of the .2 at the end.

Then you can redo the IPD with the following steps:

1) mv /var/adm/sw/products/INDEX to INDEX.old
2) vi void.psf
with

product
tag void
fileset
tag void
3) swpackage -s ./void.psf
4) swinstall void
5) swremove void
6) rm -r /var/spool/sw/void
7) rm void.psf

That will recreate a new IPD.

Good luck,
