Patch Preinstallation Check and Installation Messages
The following sections describe messages you might see when running the dupatch
preinstallation check or installation functions.
Patch Installation Blocked by Unknown System File
Source: dupatch preinstallation check or installation.
Problem: The installation of a specific patch is blocked due to an existing system file that is
unknown.
Cause: This situation usually occurs when system files are placed on the system through manual
intervention. For example, this may have been the result of installing a Customer-Specific patch
received from HP Services or a system administrator's customization of a Tru64 UNIX file.
Until you confirm otherwise, the unknown system files should be viewed as intentional
customizations that are important for proper system operation. As such, care should be taken
to understand why the system files have been customized.
Action: Determine the origin of the existing unknown system files. The steps you take will be
determined by the reason your system files were manually changed. See “Creating a Baseline”
for more information.
