[pca] patch dependencies

[Hewitt, Lenny]

Thanks!  I didn’t see the –m for the man page.  I need to look harder next time.

It looks like –debug shows me all required patches.

FYI: I received both of your posts.

I would expect the “—list” option to list missing dependencies.  It depends on the patchdiag.xref file which has been known to contain errors.

Here’s an example:

/var/tmp/pca --list 150400-01
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Dec/08/14
Host: pdkermit (SunOS 5.10/Generic_150400-05/sparc/sun4v)
List: 150400-01 (1/0)

Patch  IR   CR RSB Age Synopsis
------ -- - -- --- --- -------------------------------------------------------
150400 05 < 18 RS-  24 SunOS 5.10: Kernel Patch


/var/tmp/pca --list 150400
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Dec/08/14
Host: pdkermit (SunOS 5.10/Generic_150400-05/sparc/sun4v)
List: 150400 (2/48)

Patch  IR   CR RSB Age Synopsis
------ -- - -- --- --- -------------------------------------------------------
150510 -- < 03 R--  24 SunOS 5.10: /var/svc/manifest/system/sysidtool.xml patch
150400 05 < 18 RS-  24 SunOS 5.10: Kernel Patch


(Note: the first run is using “150400-01” and the second is using “150400”)

Do you suspect a problem?

Glen

Hi,

Why did I get an e-mail back saying this is a suspicious email.  It is a legitimate e-mail.


Will this script list all patch dependencies for a given patch?

Thanks,

Lenny
