DescriptionDefect ID
the "patch_newconfig_rollcheck" documentation said that it is to be used in
a preremove script. It is actually to be used in a checkremove script.
JAGaf27275
If a patch's fileset is excluded and the patch's postinstall script fails, then the
fileset's status is changed to corrupt which results in the fileset getting installed
JAGaf27457
when it should have remained excluded. This results in internal errors during
swinstall and in swremove if the user tries to remove the bad fileset.
Application of a patch that includes a file in the directory /usr/newconfig
fails to modify the IPD entry for the fileset that is patched. This results in a
swverify error on the base fileset that has been patched.
JAGaf28873
swverify fix creates a warning with the message "Cannot create symlink ""
to ...". The target of the link is NULL.

DescriptionDefect ID
In certain circumstances, SD will not detect that a control script has made a
change to the Installed Products Database. The result is that any changes are
overwritten and lost.
JAGae72478
When a committed patch is configured (or re-configured) in a separate
swconfig session, the patch_state is incorrectly set to "applied" instead of
"committed".
JAGae84424
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.
JAGae86656
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.log:
WARNING: Failure registering as Remote Procedure Call server using protocol
sequence "ncacn_ip_tcp" with endpoint "2121". No addresses (dce / rpc)
This is fixed to change the WARNING messages to NOTE messages:
NOTE: Could not register RPC protocol "ncacn_ip_tcp" with endpoint "2121".
No addresses (dce / rpc).
JAGae90520
When invoked from an ineractive multi-target install, remove or copy session,
the swjob terminal user interface fails to restore terminal settings after exiting,
leaving the terminal in an unusable state.
JAGae92997
When installing a packaged symlink whose source path is already up to date
on the target, swinstall does not reset the mode of the symlink or update the
JAGae93563
owner and group of the symlink. To see the problem, remove a previously
installed symlink and manually create it as non-root user with an unusual umask
setting but with the correct source path. Reinstall the fileset that delivered the
symlink, and the symlink mode, owner, and group will not be fixed up by
swinstall.
Under certain conditions, choosing the "Show Description of Software..."
action for a file-level object in the interactive UI will cause swinstall, swremove
or swlist to abort and dump core.
JAGae94610
This defect affects users who attempt to package a depot to a tape device
larger than 4924 million bytes by using the -x media_capacity=nnnn option.
JAGae95327
When given a value greater than 4924, media _capacity causes an integer
overflow leading to the wrong size being used in swpackage.
swlist @ <depot> syntax fails if the target is a serial depot.JAGae96976
