Most of the responses were absolutely right on target.
After I ran the Baseline option of 'dupatch', it became
evident that /usr/sbin/mount was of unknown procedence.
And then a light came from above and a booming voice
said : "Didn't you install the Tracer Jukebox demo software
last week on this very machine ?" "Yes", said I, while
banging my head against a nearby ESA10000 cabinet.
Well, just removing that demo kit (expired, by the way)
did the trick, the original 'mount' image was automagically
restored (I guess...), and dupatch ran without problems.
Thanks again !

Original Question follows :
>We're having a strange problem when trying to install patch #3
>on a 4100 with DU 4.0D patch #2. We run ./dupatch in single
>user, first it correctly reports that 3 patches will not be installed
>due to missing pre-requisites (LSM). Then the fun begins...
>It reports the following :
>
>DIGITAL_UNIX_V4.0D / Security Related Patches
>Patch 0345.02 - kernel fixes, Security (SSRT0521U),(SSRT0537U)
> :./usr/sbin/mount
> its origin can not be identified
>
>Then of course, at the second check pass, the following patches
>are "skipped" due to the missing 0345.02 pre-requisite:
>
>0394.01 acctcom & acctcms
>0370.01 End of large file ...
>0116.01 Kernel Class Scheduler
>0392.01 AdvFS Consolidated Patch
>
>And if you tell it to proceed with the remaining patches, it
>starts another check pass instead, and then another.....
>
>Any ideas on what's happening ? What's the problem with
>/usr/sbin/mount ? Patch #2 installed correctly (and we
>recompiled the kernel after that).
