system doesn't show the right version

[Elton Agolli]

Hi everybody,

I have downloaded and installed the latest patch bundle for Tru64 5.1B (T64V51BB27AS0006-20061208.tar) and also some individual patches. One of them was T64KIT1001227-V51BB27-ES-20070531.tar which is was supposed to install OpenSSL 9.8d. The strange thing is that when I check the version of OpenSSL (command: openssl version) it still says 9.7d which is the old one. When I check the properties of the binary file openssl in /usr/ssl/bin/openssl, its date is 22 Nov 2006 that means it's a new one.
I have the same problem when I check the versions for other software and services which are supposed to be already upgraded.
How can I get the system to show the right version? Did I miss anything after installing the patches?

Regards,

Tony

Hi Tony,

Did you do the version switch after the patch install ?

# versw -switch

I think... Read the documentation that comes in the patch it. Its in there somewhere...

Hope this helps,

Hi Rob,

It seems that versw is related to the operationg system version, while my problem are subsets version.In this case is OpenSSL showing 9.7d instead of 9.8d. The same happens with JAVA. I have installed 1.4.2-6 and it still says 1.3.1 (#java -version)which is the originall version that comes with the system.

Hi Tony,

For Java you have to set and unset the relevant versions...

There are scripts in each Java home. For example:

/usr/opt/java141/bin/set_java_default.sh

Maybe there's something similar for OpenSSL.

Cheers,

Ok Rob,

I found the script. I'll have a try.


Thanks,

Tony

Hi Rob,

I tried the scripts provided in the java folders and I was successful to change the Java default version in the system.
But unfortunately, I cannot find anything similar for OpenSSL. There is nothing in the OpenSSL 9.8d patch documentation and I was not able to find anything about it on the web either.
Any help would be appreciated.

Tony

Hi,

I've just flicked through the release notes for the patch here:

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=T64KIT1001227-V51BB27-ES-20070531&admit=-938907319+1182514694983+28353475

Looking at the files that are delivered as part of the patch I don't see an updated binary of openssl itself, just various header files and libraries... I'd be tempted to log a support call...

Cheers,

Rob

Well Rob,

I get you point of view. Seems a strange situation.
Anyway thank you very much for your assistance.
