I reviewed the archives and haven't seen this particular problem
described, I hope someone can help me.

I've in the process of installing 4.0B on a variety of Alphas. I'm
also trying to install some patches I found on
ftp://ftp.service.digital.com/public/dunix/v4.0b/. There seem to be
several of them:

1. duv40b11700-bl6er. This patch does not seem to applicable for our
   systems. It contains a note *not* to run the patch if the output of
   the command "uname -r -v" is something other than "V4.0B 464".

2. motdu_e01040b, which I've installed -- a patch to dxsession.

3. osf410-400106_v40b.tar, which I've also installed.

4. Finally there's duv40bas00003-1997042.tar. This is a huge file
   which has a number of important fixes in it. However, when I
   attempt to install it, all the patches fail with the following
   diagnostic:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
"V4.0B Patch 0010.00 - Patch: dump and rdump Command Corrections"
requires the existence of the following un-installed/un-selected subset(s):

        V4.0B Patch 0000.02 - Patch Tools

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I checked the uninstalled patch, #1 above, and it doesn't seem to
contain this missing patch.

Have I missed something? Does anyone know where I can get this patch?

Thanks!
