"<hostname>:/": An update to the installed product database or depot catalog may have
errors.
Due to local authentication feature, need corequisite from fileset SW-DIST.SD2-AGENT to
SW-DIST.SD2-CMDS so that whenever swagent or swagentd are updated to higher version
QXCR1000892562
(like in an update session) the commands like swinstall, etc., delivered in SD2-CMDS should
also be updated. This is applicable to all SD bits starting from September 2009 releases
as old SD commands are not compatible with new swagent, etc.
There was a load order issue with ancestor and its product.QXCR1000879963
There was a load order issue with ancestor and its product.QXCR1000862144
When a control script returned with a WARNING/ERROR during a product install,
swverify/swjob on the installed product displays only a file-set level message and does not
QXCR1000895160
identify the control script. This fix adds a message identifying the control script which
returned with a warning/error.
The swagentd has been creating invalid permission depots on a production depot server
running SW-DIST,r=B.11.31.0809.325. The swcopied depots were incorrectly of the
permission 400 instead of 755.
QXCR1000906210
SD was not removing the temporary catalog directory when swlist was invoked by a non-root
user and TMPDIR environment variable was set to a directory not writable by root, causing
QXCR1000891088
SD to ignore the TMPDIR directory. Since the temporary catalog didn't fall under TMPDIR,
SD refused to remove it.
Garbage values were stored for ACL permissions when ACLs set using swacl -F <acl_file>
contained unresolvable hostnames. This is fixed by assigning the correct values.

Table 10 Defects fixed in March 2009 Fixes
DescriptionDefect ID
The swinstall command has been changed to throw a WARNING message instead of an
ERROR message when an installation of a lower version of a component upon a higher
QXCR1000473250
version on a system without "allow_downdate=true" option is attempted. The customer
expects the message to be changed from ERROR to WARNING.
In addition to "*" as the hostname wildcard, swacl now supports "*" and "?" wildcards,
which can appear anywhere in the hostname.
QXCR1000790709
When a control file (e.g. checkinstall) path in the PSF is a symbolic link and follow_symlinks
was set to false (default), swpackage stored the size of the symbolic link instead of the
QXCR1000792118
control file in the INFO files, due to which swverify on this depot or the installed product
reported errors. The fix resolves the control file symbolic links irrespective of the value of
follow_symlinks while retrieving the file information.
