Table 13 HP-UX 11i v2 March 2006 Fixes (continued)
DescriptionDefect ID
In some circumstances, a defect in SD's dependency resolution module causes
it to incorrectly calculate dependencies for software that declares
product-level corequisites or prerequisites. This ultimately results in
dependency errors during the analysis phase of swremove sessions.

In the SD interactive user interface, the type of pop-up dialog that is used
to present software selection messages will now more closely reflect the
content of the messages. If one or more selection errors occur (as reflected
in the log file), an "Error" dialog will be used, otherwise a "Note" dialog is
used.

Swpackage has a defect that can potentially mispackage a hard link as a
regular file with wrong contents. This can happen if the path being packaged
as a hard link and the source path defined in the PSF for the hard link both
exist on the system at their installed locations. This occurs when the hard
link is specified in the PSF using the explicit file definition syntax: "file -t h"
or "file -h" or by specifying the hard link using a multi-line file definition
syntax containing the line "type h".
For example:
file type h path <path> link_source end <path>
This defect was introduced in the 11i v2 May 2005, 11 v2 December 2005,
and 11i v1 September 2005 Update Releases. It was also introduced in the
11i v1 SD patch PHCO_33822 patch. This defect is fixed in the 11i v2 March
2006 Update Release and is fixed in 11i v1 SD patch PHCO_34295

If ancestors are specified for a fileset, the fileset itself no longer needs to be
specified in the list of ancestors. A match-target will always include the
fileset itself as the first ancestor checked.
JAGaf41931
Files specified to be excluded by the exclude keyword are not excluded when
PSF directory mapping is root or the default.
JAGaf47019
The autoselect_patches and patch_match_target features did not differentiate
between selection errors vs warnings/notes when determining if a patch
should be automatically selected.
JAGaf48690
Non-root swinstall to an alternate root target previously created by root
results in an RPC exception: Connection closed.
JAGaf53516
The message catalog entries for three error messages pertaining to bad
rpc_binding_info values contain truncated text.
JAGaf58112
When a fileset is excluded from installation because its exrequisite
dependency is selected for installation, then the exrequisite dependency
fileset's name is not provided in the error message.
JAGaf59586
swcopy command honors exrequisite declarations and fails to copy them to
the target depot. swcopy should ignore exrequisites and allow the exrequisite
filesets to be copied.

The SD man pages were corrected to contain the current URL for the SD
