My question was :
>> I was doing an o/s upgrade from V4.0b to V4.0d, it complaints that
>> "Multimedia Services V2.2 for Digital Unix" is installed in my >>
system and I need to remove it first.
>> Okie, I did so by using "setld -d" and try the upgrade again.
>> Somehow, it gave the same complaint again and didn't allow the
>> upgrade.
There are basically two solutions for this, first, check whether all the
subset is remove, use 'setld -i |grep MME' instead of 'setld -i |grep -i
multimedia', there are some subset that is without the name multimedia.
Secondly, (I copy and paste from Dr.Tom Blinn response) :
>As root, cd to /usr/.smdb. (subset management data base directory) and
look for files with the name "MME*.lk" -- these would be subset lock
files for the MME subsets. If you see any such files, then the setld
utility is going to believe the MME subsets are installed. You may need
to remove the files manually.
Also, in your /sys/conf directory there is a file called .product.list
as well as a .list file for each kernel you've built. You need to make
sure you don't have any left-over MME references in those files.
Finally, the MME software might have put files into the /usr/opt,
/var/opt, and/or /opt file system hierarchies. Typically, the files
would be under a directory beginning "MME" something. You can remove
those hierarchies if they are empty. If they aren't empty, then there
may be symbolic links to them from other places in the file system,
which could be messy.
Thanks again,
E.Chen
