I'm attempting to install a Sun patch and keep getting an error:
# patchadd /tmp/patches/110722-03
Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
110722-03 are not installed on this system.
Patchadd is terminating.
#
How can I find out what are the "One or more patch packages included" that are not installed on the system?? They don't seem to be listed in the readme's, etc. This is a required patch for Legato software I have to install.
Thank you!
man pkginfo
pkginfo will show you what is installed on the system
The error that comes back from attempting to install the patch says that "one or more patch packages included in 110722-03 are not installed on this system".
PKGINFO lists info about things that are installed.
I'm trying to find out how I can find what are the required things that ARE NOT currently installed that this patch needs. Is this possible somehow?
Thanks!
I know what it does, but there is no tool to tell you what isn't installed the readme file for the patch will tell you what is being patched, then compare this with what you have installed in the system
Unfortunately within the readme the list of patches required for this patch is blank. Perhaps someone out there has had success with this patch?
