[pca] 127127-11

[McGranahan, Jamen]

I am having trouble with this kernel patch and was wondering if some of
you could help me. I noticed in the PCA archives that some others were
having trouble with this patch as well, but my problem seems to be a
little different (I think). Here's my environment:

 

SunOS 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440

 

There are several patches that rely upon 127127-11, but since 127127-11
is not installed, none of these others get installed either. It doesn't
seem to be an issue with PCA itself - it does its job. It's something
with my server, but I'm not exactly sure what. When I try to run pca -i
127127-11, I get this:

 

(last few lines)

Checking installed patches...

Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...

Installing patch packages...

 

Pkgadd failed. See /var/tmp/127127-11.log.10096 for details

 

Patchadd is terminating.

 

Failed (exit code 5)

 

The log files doesn't seem to help much - or at least it's cryptic and I
don't understand it. Here's the last few lines of the log:

 

ERROR: Command mount in safemode sandbox not found

usage: puttext [-r rmarg] [-l lmarg] string

pkgadd: ERROR: class action script did not complete successfully

 

Installation of <SUNW1394> failed.

 

Right now this is in multi-user mode and it appears that several users
are able to apply this patch in this mode and did not reboot in
single-user mode. I'm hoping this is something I can do in multi-user
mode since it's not really practical to reboot in single-user mode since
this server resides in another location. Anyway, if you have any ideas
or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
