Hi Martin,<br>
<br>
I followed up with the team that generates patchdiag on Friday.<br>
<br>
There was a recent code change to better handle EOL patches that
triggered the issue you reported on Friday.<br>
<br>
All should be fixed now.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

In the current patchdiag.xref (Oct/02/11) the state of 119081-25
has been reverted to active (not obsolete) again. Same for the
other 7 patches that were affected (106922, 108982, 109082,
109647, 117662, 117851, 119070). So everything is fine again.
<br>
<br>
I also checked for other possible problematic patches with this
command:
<br>
<br>
grep '|O|' patchdiag.xref | egrep -vi "Obsoleted by|withdrawn"
<br>
<br>
It only comes up with 4 old revisions of 118822 now, which are
marked Obsolete and Bad, which is not a problem.
<br>
<br>
If you ever find an explanation for how this happened, I'd be
interested to hear about it!
<br>
<br>
Martin.
