Table 10 Defects fixed in December 2006 release (continued)
DescriptionDefect ID
The message issued when a dependency cannot be selected because a patch
that supersedes it has already been selected does not contain enough
information. An additional message has been added that logs the identifiers
of the patches that have a conflict.

The CIFS file system is now supported. The CIFS file system is treated as
CDROM/DVD media so read-only is the only type of access available.
JAGag07018
When a product specification is used for a bundle content and it contains
the fileset architecture (fa=), the product's filesets were not listed when
swlist was used to list the bundle's filesets. swlist has been changed to
ignore the fileset architecture when no fileset is specified in a bundle content.
JAGag08008
The control_utils cu_run_cmd() function is fixed to properly parse command
lines with arguments and to set return code correctly. The control_utils
msg() function is fixed to handle text that begins with a dash character.
JAGag09132
When a product that contains a request script is installed to an alternate
root, and there is no existing product installed there, swinstall fails when
it attempts to store the response file in the alternate root. swinstall has been
changed to create the alternate root target before it attempts to store the
response file in it.
JAGag10542
When a newer version of a product repackages a subproduct as a fileset,
the SD function: IA_GetStrAttribute(), generates an internal error when the
newer version is installed. SD has been changed to recognize this type of
change and not generate an error.
JAGag10636
The message for kernel build displayed by non-interactive swinstall is
changed from WARNING to NOTE, and text of the message is improved.
The old message was:
WARNING: The software specified contains a fileset that changes the kernel.
Either the attribute dynamic_module, used for dynamic changes, is
specified, or the is_kernel attribute, used for static changes, is set to true.
The new message is:
NOTE: The software specified contains a kernel fileset or a dynamic_module
fileset. The kernel will be modified, and if necessary the system will be
rebooted. stalled. SD has been changed to recognize this type of change
and not generate an error.

Add improved formatted manpages.JAGag13600
The swmodify man page and the on-system SD options reference at
/usr/lib/sw/sys.defaults are updated to show that adding
"swmodify.loglevel=1" to /var/adm/sw/defaults file will enable logging by
swmodify invoked in a control script.
JAGag13978
The message prefix is changed to be NOTE or ERROR for SD controller
messages showing how to access more information in the SD agent logfile.
The choice of prefix is now based on whether there have been any ERROR
conditions shown in the SD controller logfile. Examples of affected messages
are:
NOTE: More information may be found in the agent logfile using the
command "swjob -a log hostname-0014 @ hostname:/".
or
NOTE: More information may be found in the agent logfile (location is
hostname:/var/adm/sw/swagent.log).
JAGag14329
When a directory is changed to a file of a different type, the change is now
logged in swagent.log. The change is most likely intentional, but it may be
the result of accidental mis-packaging of the directory so it is reported.
