Software Distributor Requirements, Issues Fixed, and Workarounds HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-2436, September 2012)

Table 11 Defects fixed in December 2007 (continued)
DescriptionDefect ID
Corruption has been found occasionally in the global INDEX file in the IPD
(Installed Product Database). SD has been changed to provide more
JAGag33541
information about file I/O failures that can potentially corrupt files in the IPD.
Also, corruption avoidance techniques for INDEX files are now also applied
to INFO files in the IPD.
Option description improvements were made in the sys.defaults file and some
Software Distributor man pages.

When the local hostname is included in the "-d" or "@" parameters for
swpackage, the hostname is not discarded and is instead included as part
JAGag38047
of the path. The swpackage(1m) manpage has been changed to clarify that
swpackage treats everything entered after "-d" or "@" as part of the path.
The swpackage command has been changed to log the absolute path name
in the swreg message when a relative path is entered.
Symlinks are always packaged with mode 0755, and are packaged with
uid and gid taking priority over owner name and group name. The
JAGag42980
swpackage command is fixed to package symlinks to have mode, owner,
and group set correctly.
When a patch fileset is reselected because the dependencies for the patch
fileset that supersedes it cannot be resolved, swagent generates an ERROR
JAGag43059
for the reselection. SD has been changed to only log the condition as a NOTE
since the reselection is handled correctly by swagent.
A dependency on a bundle causes autoselection of the bundle contents, but
does not select the bundle wrapper. SD is fixed to also select the bundle
wrapper in this situation.
JAGag44536
A GUI/TUI swinstall session generates error code 308 when doing
match-target and an explicit software selection is made at the same time. SD
has been fixed to work correctly in this situation.
JAGag44900
The copy mode of swpackage with run_as_superuser=false fails with ERROR:
Cannot open host file "/var/adm/sw/host_object". Permission denied (13).
This is now fixed in swpackage.

DescriptionDefect ID
A swapon() call may fail with errno 22 during swinstall or update-ux. The
swagent program is fixed to prevent that swapon() failure.
JAGag29254
A new option, autoselect_minimum_dependencies, has been added to control
the selection of the first left-most dependency in a list of OR'd dependencies
JAGag30553
that satisfies a requisite. When the option is set to true, the first left-most
dependency in a list of OR dependencies that satisfies a requisite is not
automatically selected when another dependency in the list that also satisfies
the requisite is explicitly selected.
