Actually I did a little more digging on this and the "-l" optin does not seem to show the dependencies. For example I ran the command against a kernel patch<br><br>Below is the command and the results. According to this no dependence.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">pca -l 127721-03</span><br style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><br style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Patch IR CR RSB Age Synopsis</span><br style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">

<br>I then untarred the actual patch and looked at the patchinfo file. You can see the patch requires three other patches. So now I guess I am back to the beginning. Any ideas how to get details on the dependencies for a patch? Thanks.<br>

<br>$ pca -l 142341<br><br>Is that what you wanted?<div><div></div><div><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I had a quick question about the pre-requisites when installing one patch. I know pca determines dependence, etc and installs patches in that order. However, how do you do this for one single patch. For example - I want to install <br>
109326-17 : libresolv.so.2, in.named and BIND9 patch<br>Now libresolv.so.2 has C dependencies. When I do a full pca check for my host the C patches come right after the patch for patchadd. However, there are about 20+ patches before I get tot he libresolv patch. Are all these patches dependencies? I don't see how. I look at the readme file for the libresolv patch and do not see anything at all about dependencies. Is there a way to check what requirements this patch needs from pca - perhaps a flag, etc? Thanks.<br>
