Software Distributor Requirements, Issues Fixed, and Workarounds HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-2562, March 2013)
Table 20 HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Fixes (continued)
DescriptionDefect ID
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
JAGaf41469
"default_realm" value. This in turn results in warning messages being issued
to the SD daemon log file whenever the depot is accessed.
In some cases, the swlist command will not list information for products
specified on the command line, if the command line contains a mixture of
product and bundle specifications.

In rare cases, filesets may be installed in an incorrect order. The problem is
triggered by interactions between products that contain both kernel and
JAGaf43020
non-kernel filesets and specify inter-product dependencies. The problem is also
affected by product and fileset names and the lexicographic ordering of some
filesets relative to their prerequisites.
11.00,11.11,11.23: Some messages generated by packaged scripts calling
functions in /usr/lbin/sw/control_utils have hardcoded line wrapping, causing
JAGaf44364
some message text in /var/adm/sw/sw*.log files to extend beyond 72
characters. This release fixes some functions in control_utils to dynamically
wrap messages, reducing the chance of messages extending beyond 72
characters.
The 11.23 SD man pages were based on the 11.00 SD-UX man pages when
they should have been based on the 11.11 man pages which were a merge
JAGaf44648
of the 11.00 SD-UX and 11.00 SD-OV man pages. This delivery corrects these
errors, fixes minor grammar arrors, and adds information on
SW_CONFIG_AFTER_REBOOT and SW_SESSION_IS_UPDATE environment
variables for packaged scripts.
When a packaged symlink is changed to point to a different file than what
was originally specified, then "swverify -F" will cause the swagent to dump
core when swverify attempts to correct the link.
JAGaf45441
If a dependency is declared on a product instead of a fileset, swinstall may
not correctly resolve the dependency if the product is compatible but contains
JAGaf45569
incompatible filesets. (Note, however, that HP-UX packaging policy only allows
dependencies on filesets).
Installation of HP WBEM Services can result in a message in WBEM Services
install log similar to this:
Parsing error:
/usr/lib/sw/wbem/PG_SoftwareDistributor20.mof:466: syntax error before
' '
This is fixed by a change in the SD Provider mof files delivered in the Software
Distributor product.

A package source file specified for the "-t" and the multi line file "type" syntax
is reported as missing when it's not required to be present in the package
area. swpackage may also fail with a segmentation violation when this occurs.
JAGaf46269
This release clarifies software specification syntax in SD man pages.JAGaf46317
When a patch that delivers a new configuration file is installed, re-installed,
and then removed, the new configuration file remains on the system. This
JAGaf48035
results in an orphan file that is not defined in a product and must be manually
removed from the system.
In a swinstall session, if the "select all" ("\*") command-line mechanism is
used to specify software selections, a bundle wrapper will be installed even
JAGaf48351
when all of its contents is either missing, incompatible, or otherwise excluded
during analysis.
swreg syntax like: "swreg -l depot -u @ /depot" of an unregistered depot
results in the error message displaying "/depot:/depot ...." when it should
display "<hotname>:/depot ..."
