Table 15 Defects fixed in June 2007 release
DescriptionDefect ID
The swinstall analysis has been changed to not allow the newer version of
a dependency to be installed if it will not satisfy the installed dependent.
JAGaf30050
Reinstalling a patch after a failed attempt to install the same patch can result
in the second install of the patch appearing to succeed, when the second
JAGaf41562
install actually had the same failure as the first install. After the first install
the patch is marked as corrupt. After the second install the patch is marked
as configured, even though it should still be marked as corrupt. This release
of SD is fixed so failure during the second install will mark the file as corrupt.
This release of 11.23 SW-DIST installs the gettune command. This helps
avoid setting kernel tunables incorrectly when packaged control scripts such
JAGaf73460
as preinstall, postinstall, or configure use the increase_tunable() function on
tunables that are not already shown in /stand/system.
The swcopy and swinstall commands generate a NOTE message saying the
dependency "will be checked during the analysis phase" when the
JAGag05772
dependency is not resolved on the source during selection. The swcopy and
swinstall commands have been changed to not generate the NOTE message
if the dependency will be resolved on the target.
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.

When using the swreg command using the "@" to designate the target, the
message, "ERROR: More information may be found ..." will display a default
JAGag21361
location of <target path" ": ><path>, <hostname>: <path> The fix is to
handle whether you include the "@" to designate a target or not, it will
display.
Problem with SD secrets file.JAGag24288
When IPD_delete_ancestors function is invoked incorrectly, it may cause a
WARNING message and an ERROR message to be logged, when only a
JAGag24647
WARNING message is needed. It is fixed to issue only a WARNING
message.
The "as_needed" functionality for the "autoselect_dependencies" option did
not select dependencies "as_needed", and instead treated the option as
JAGag25321
"false" and no dependencies were selected. SD has been changed to correctly
select dependencies "as_needed".
Control scripts that use set -u may encounter uninitialized variables in
control_utils and report an error. SD control_utils is fixed to correctly handle
control scripts that set -u.
JAGag27255
The temporary ioscan_out file created by control_utils function cu_hw_scan
is not always removed at the end of the swinstall session. This release of SD
is fixed to ensure ioscan_out is always removed at end of swinstall session.
JAGag28202
SD is fixed to not issue "RPC exception" messages when they are due to
inability to connect to a swagentd process. The meaningful message which
followed the RPC exception message is still issued.
