Patch Removal Messages
The following sections describe messages you might see when running the dupatch patch
deletion function.
Patch Removal Blocked by Missing Patch Backup Files
Source: dupatch deletion.
Problem: An attempt to remove a specific patch or all patches fails because the backup of the
prepatch system files is not available to dupatch.
Causes: The /var/adm/patch/backup area does not contain the prepatch system files.
Action: Ensure that dupatch can access the/var/adm/patch/backup area and that the area
is set up as it was when the patches were installed. For example, if you were using
/var/adm/patch/backup as a mount point for another file system, make sure that file system
is mounted. Once you have solved the /var/adm/patch/backup access or content problem,
remove patches through the dupatch Delete Menu.
Output:

Patch Removal Blocked by Dependencies on Other Patches
Source: dupatch deletion.
Problem: A specific patch cannot be removed because of its dependency on other installed
patches.
Causes: Generally this occurs when you miss the selection of all dependent patches.
Action: Through the dupatch Delete Menu, reselect the patches including the noted dependent
patch and try to remove them. The program will notify you of any other dependent patches you
might have missed.
