Once again, the value of this mailing list shines brightly:
The question was:
I need to install Jumbo Patch 6, but there is a cavaet about
deinstalling patch DUV40BSS0000500022600-19971014 prior to installing
the jumbo patch.
How do I determine if this patch was applied? I tried setld -i and it
tells me a great deal about the installed patches to various setld's
but I still can't determine if this patch was applied.
The answers were all valid and usable:
1.
If you logged the last patches you installed, you can look in
/usr/var/adm/patch/ for the logs. If not, see if there might be clues
in /usr/.smbd./
2.
The following snippet will enable you to know from what patch kits the
patches installed on your system came from.
Prompt> cat `/bin/ls /usr/.smdb./OSFPAT*.lk | sed 's/.lk/.ctrl/'` |
grep NAME= | sort -u
NAME='Patches for Digital UNIX V4.0B
(DUV40BAS00005-19971009,09-Oct-1997:16:55:44)'
3.
You must use dupatch (of DUV40BSS0000500022600-19971014).
After you have launched it, choose 'Patch tracking' (4) , then 'List
installed patches' (2).
Thanks for all the help,
Bob
