Problem with swagentd.QXCR1000559362/JAGaf91103
The file_permissions line is not parsed correctly for numeric owner/group in
psf. Now, if there are two values, the first is treated as a NAME, the second
QXCR1000590006/JAGag45579
as an ID. If there is only one value and it is totally numeric that value is treated
as an ID else that value is treated as a NAME.
When swinstall skips installation of a patch because the target of the patch
was excluded during analysis, a useful message is written to swagent.log
QXCR1000591911/JAGag47873
but a non-informative message is issued by swinstall. Swinstall is fixed to
issue a more descriptive message in this situation.
The new command "swfixrealm" updates default_realm in SD ACL files.QXCR1000739295
SD commands invoked by drd runcmd cannot access directory depot in the
active root. This is partially fixed in SD, enabling a workaround for DRD
users. Please see DRD release notes for details of the workaround.

Table 13 Defects fixed in December 2007

The swremove error message for software not found is too similar to an error
message that swinstall generates for the same condition. SD has been
changed to issue an error message that distingushes swremove from swinstall.
JAGaf38837
The description for the patch_filter and patch_match_target options in the
swinstall.1m manpage have been changed to clarify that when multiple
JAGaf44838
targets are specified, the first target in the list is used as the basis for patch
selections.
The swlist man page does not show an example of how to list all patches on
a system, and their current state. That example has now been added to the
swlist man page.
JAGaf88718
The swpackage command issues an unexpected warning when files packaged
into different filesets are hard linked in the packager source area. The warning
JAGag20903
says hard links across filesets are not supported, and each file will be
recorded as a regular file. The swpackage command has been fixed to not
issue that warning, but otherwise to not change behavior.
The swinstall command issues a confusing message when the
patch_match_target feature selects nothing and fails. The message is improved
to list the potential reasons why nothing is selected.
JAGag29971
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.
