Software Distributor Requirements, Issues Fixed, and Workarounds HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX 11i v3

Table 18 Defects fixed in June 2006 release (continued)
DescriptionDefect ID
regardless of whether or not any "is_reboot=true" filesets have been installed
in that session.
The message for a rare error condition detected by the SD-AGENT fileset
configure script indicates WARNING rather than ERROR. The message is
fixed to describe the problem as an ERROR.

Table 19 HP-UX 11i v2 March 2006 Fixes
DescriptionDefect ID
SD binaries are fixed to handle chains of symlinks deeper than 20 levels,
which can be the case when kernel tunable fs_symlinks is set to a value greater
than 20.

If a control script uses cu_hw_scan, a file "ioscan.out" will be generated. This
file does not get removed properly, so the next call to cu_hw_scan will retrieve
the data from that file even though the system may have changed.
JAGaf59709
The SD Provider does not return the size property for bundles and products
due to the provider reading the /var/adm/sw/INDEX file directly to obtain
JAGaf63099
software information. The propery is not available in this file. The SD Provider
has been changed to use the swlist command which calculates and returns
the size value for bundles and products. In addition to this change, the provider
now does not quote any returned String value and the IsPatch attribute is now
capitalized to match its definition in the provider's MOF file.
If a bundle references a subset of a product's filesets, then the remaining
unreferenced filesets are not included in the catalog data retrieved by swlist
-c, nor are they included in fileset-level swlist output.
JAGaf64865
Text has been added to the swpackage(4) manpage to provide better
information about the file "-t" syntax. The description for file types: "d"
JAGaf67184
(directory), "h" (hardlink) and "s" (symbolic link) now includes information
stating when files residing on the packaging system are ignored for these
types.
The swpackage(4) manpage now documents that comments starting with the
# character are allowed in space files. An example is included showing how
a comment can be specified in a space file.
JAGaf69219
The compile of the SD Provider's MOF file produces a parsing error. This is
caused by a byte sequence in the file that is not valid UTF-8 encoding.
JAGaf76807
swpackage fails to create a relative symbolic link when the link is specified
using the "file -t s" syntax. This was caused by files on the packaging system
JAGaf77271
being accessed when they should be ignored for symbolic links specified with
the "file -t s" syntax. Files on the packaging system are now ignored when a
symbolic link is specified using the "file -t s" syntax and also ignored for a
hard link that is specified using the "file -t h" syntax.
When a fileset contains multiple dynamic module definitions, older versions
of SD generate this warning for all but the first dynamic module defined in
the fileset:
WARNING: Ignoring duplicate definition for the keyword "dynamic_module"
at line 53704.
JAGaf79864
A permission denied message in SD is improved to mention "swreg" as well
as "swacl" as methods for enabling access to a depot.
JAGaf80319
In some circumstances, a defect in SD's dependency resolution module causes
it to incorrectly calculate dependencies for software that declares product-level
JAGaf80703
corequisites or prerequisites. This ultimately results in dependency errors during
the analysis phase of swremove sessions.
