HP Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B-2 and Higher Patch Kit Installation Instructions (March 2009)

• Phase 5 reports patches that do not pass installation applicability tests due to the current
state of your system. The installation of these patches is prevented by missing or unknown
system files.
The dupatch utility reports the known information about the files contained in each patch
and asks if you want to enable the installation:
Do you want to enable the installation of any of these patches? [y/n]:
Answer n until you know the origin of the files that are preventing the patch installation.
The changed system files that are preventing the Release patch installation may be part of
a manually installed Customer-Specific patch or an intentionally customized utility or file.
If, for example, the file that is preventing the installation of a Release patch is one of many
files that are part of a CSP, you must determine how to proceed. For more information, see
“Manually Installed CSPs” and “Phase 5 – Enabling dupatch to Overwrite Changed System
Files”.
If you answer y to this question, dupatch enables all of the patches to be installed.
• Phase 6 reports CSPs that have inventory conflicts. Some CSPs replace files delivered in the
original operating system inventory or other layered products' inventory. The dupatch
utility blocks the installation of those patches with inventory conflicts because they can
compromise the integrity of the CSPs.

• Phase 7 lists additional files that have been installed with the files in the CSP or layered
product that cannot be superseded .
After reviewing this section, you can enable the installation of these patches. Enabling a
patch means that the checks for patch file applicability, done during patch installation, will
be bypassed if you choose to install that patch:
It is recommended that you understand the origin of the
listed files before enabling a patch for installation.
