Thanks to Dr. Tom Blinn and Vincent Kiely for their
responses. First my apologies for the inaccuracy of
my description of the problem. Instead of "backup" I
should have said the patches were installed
irreversibly, ie I could not back them out.
What I did was to place the .gz file, from another
system, corresponding the the patch I wished to
uninstall into /usr/adm/patch/backup. Into single
user mode, and deleted the patch without incident and
rebooted. Loaded the C2 subsets from the distribution
then back into single user mode to install the removed
patch plus another required patch. I may have gotten
lucky in that there was only one file in the tar ball
to be replaced.
Neither dupatch or setld complained of errors and both
the subsets and patches are listed as installed.
I ran secsetup without incident, so I think I dodged a
bullet.
My original question follows.
Thanks
Joe
