The following software may require reinstallation after the Update
Installation is completed:

The Update Installation has determined that patches were installed for
the following products on your system:

During the update install these patched files will be overwritten by
the versions of the files shipped with the following products:
Tru64 UNIX V5.0A Operating System ( Rev 1094 )
As a result it is possible that there may be a regression if the new
versions of the files do not contain the latest patches. It is
recommended that the latest patch kit for each of the products listed
above be installed after the update installation completes. This will
ensure that no regression occurs.
*** Determining kernel components ***
*** Checking for file type conflicts ***
The following directories on this system conflict with assigned file
types originally shipped in the operating system. This can be
caused, for example, if a symbolic link is replaced with a real
directory. These conflicts must be resolved before an update
installation can be performed on this system. The original file
status information can be found in the subset inventory files located
in the /usr/.smdb. directory. For later review, this message is also
logged in /var/adm/smlogs/update.log The update procedure will exit
and return the system to its original state.
./usr/adm must be Symbolic Link to ../var/adm
Returning system to Pre-Update state...done.
Exiting Update Installation...
Removing temporary update installation files...done.
*** END UPDATE INSTALLATION (Tue May 1 09:06:41 BST 2001) ***
At this point I rebooted the server, sizer -v states it is still on 5.0
so I did a doconfig and a reboot.
after reboot:-
sizer -v
