Table 10 Defects fixed in September 2008 release (continued) Defect ID Description revisions of the same product, but with different architectures, exist during the postinstall phase of the update and the 11.31 revision removes an obsolete bundle wrapper. The internal error was generated when the function could not identify the revision to update. SD has been modified to also use the architecture setting to uniquely identify the two revisions.
2007 December 2007 December 2007 Web Release SW-DIST fileset revision B.11.23.0712.069 whatstring SD-UX/B.11.31.00.166, UDL_11.23_Dec07OEUR_IC069 This release, B.11.23.0712.069, can be downloaded from the web. For more information, see http://www.hp.com/go/SD/ Table 12 Defects fixed in December 2007 Defect ID 12 Description JAGaf38837 The swremove error message for software not found is too similar to an error message that swinstall generates for the same condition.
Table 12 Defects fixed in December 2007 (continued) Defect ID Description JAGag44536 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. JAGag44900 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.
Table 13 Defects fixed in September 2007 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGag36385 When updating the 11i v2 September 2006 Update Release version of SW-DIST from a depot that contains both the 11i v2 December 2006 Update Release version of SW-DIST and the PHCO_36146 patch, the /etc/rc.config.d/swconfig file does not have an entry for SW_ENABLE_SWAGENTD. The SW-DIST.SD-CMDS' postinstall script has been modified to merge the SW_ENABLE_SWAGENTD entry into /etc/rc.config.d/swconfig.
Table 14 Defects fixed in June 2007 release (continued) Defect ID Description swinstall commands have been changed to not generate the NOTE message if the dependency will be resolved on the target. JAGag12193 SD has been changed to prevent a SIGSEGV when a bundle includes itself as one of its contents and the bundle also contains a fileset that has a requisite declared on another fileset in the bundle.
Table 15 Defects fixed in December 2006 release (continued) Defect ID Description last product (or bundle) is removed from the depot, then the depot's swagent.log and directory will also be removed. JAGaf83577 swpackage does not prevent a directory from being packaged as a README or control file. It has been modified to not allow a directory to be packaged as a README or control file. JAGaf94697 SD has fixed to reset the O_NONBLOCK flag in stdout and stderr.
Table 15 Defects fixed in December 2006 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGag13600 Add improved formatted manpages. JAGag13978 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.
Table 16 Defects fixed in September 2006 release (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf98908 Message catalogs display correct in different languages. JAGag00959 swinstall fails when it installs a file across an existing symlink and the directory structure pointed to by the symlink does not exist. swinstall has been changed to create the missing parent directories. June 2006 HP-UX 11i v2 June 2006 Update Release SW-DIST fileset revision B.11.23.0606.045 whatstring SD-UX/B.11.31.00.119, UDL_11.
Table 18 HP-UX 11i v2 March 2006 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf67184 Text has been added to the swpackage(4) manpage to provide better information about the file "-t" syntax. The description for file types: "d" (directory), "h" (hardlink) and "s" (symbolic link) now includes information stating when files residing on the packaging system are ignored for these types. JAGaf69219 The swpackage(4) manpage now documents that comments starting with the # character are allowed in space files.
05 December 2005 Table 19 HP-UX 11i v2 December 2005 Fixes Defect ID 20 Description JAGaf41930 Support for files larger than 2 gigabytes is now available in Software Distributor. However, only newer releases of the SW-DIST product can use depots containing files larger than 2 gigabytes. JAGaf41931 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.
Table 19 HP-UX 11i v2 December 2005 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf71559 A defect in swinstall's analysis phase was allowing a bundle wrapper to be installed even when a checkinstall script returned GLOBAL_ERROR. JAGaf72362 The SD Provider does not return the key bindings from the enumerateInstances() method. The DMTF and CIM standard requires the values be returned by the method.
Table 20 HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf41469 If the Service Control Manager depot /var/opt/mx/depot11 is created during a cold install, various ACLs in that depot may be created with an incorect "default_realm" value. This in turn results in warning messages being issued to the SD daemon log file whenever the depot is accessed.
Table 20 HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf50358 This release changes a message SD issues for a memory allocation error. The previous message said "This is probably due to insufficient memory.", the new message says "This is probably due to insufficient swap space." JAGaf51068 The file_permissions values for the object's permissions and ownership are not used when the file specification uses the "-t" syntax.
Table 21 HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 Fixes (continued) Defect ID Description JAGaf18336 When a configure or remove operation fails during the execution of the swconfig startup script, extraneous output from the swconfig or swremove command is included in the /etc/rc.log file, making it difficult to locate the pertinent error information. Now, only the standard error output is included when an operation fails.
Table 22 HP-UX 11i v2 March 2004 Fixes (continued) JAGae86656 If a patch_match_target operation fails to find any patches in the source that match the target, swinstall will exit, but the logfile will not give any indication why swinstall exited. JAGae90520 When using Ignite/UX to install a system without using networking, such as from CD-ROM or DVD, two instances of the following WARNING are seen in /var/adm/sw/swagentd.
