Recommended patch 125541-02 fails to install

Patch 125541-02 fails to install. When it is running patchadd perhaps, it complains that the dependency package SUNWthunderbird is not present. I am not inclined to search and add support for it unless it is necessary. I tried it five different hosts running Solaris 10. The results are the same.

I had exactly the same results on a Sun Blade running Sol 10 11/06. The patch will not install using update manager, or with smpatch add -i, or from the manually downloaded patch using patchadd.
The following requested patches have packages not installed on the system
Package SUNWthunderbird from directory SUNWthunderbird in patch 125541-02 is not installed on the system. Changes for package SUNWthunderbird will not be applied to the system.

The StarOffice patches are most likely being recommended as there are one or more SUNWstaroffice packages installed on the system, but the patch installation cannot complete due to an incomplete installation of StarOffice. Check for any installed StarOffice packages and remove them if present:

Patch 124171-01 fails to install

Patch 124171-01 fails to install on an Ultra-80 and a V210 models. I installed it manually to get the message that the "SUNWscnbase-r" package is not installed so the patch is aborted.
The Ultra-80 runs Solaris 10 release 03/2005. The V210 runs Solaris 10 01/2006. I typically load everything in the installs so this patch should not have been recommended to them.

This seems to indicate all Solaris 10 systems would need this patch - but I don't know if UM uses this info when deciding which patches to recommend.

Patch 120536-08 fails to install

Hello,
I've got Solaris 10 on x86_64.with zones and problem with 120536-08 patch which `smpatch analyze` claims need to be installed.

Now I've got a question: How to tell smpatch command that I don't need patch 120536-08?

Hello,
Please can you provide us with the following information and fowarded it to the "[email protected]", do not post this information on the forum:
Go to var/sadm/spool/cache/Database on the machine in question. There should be a single file there named
https*current.zip. Copy this file to some temporary location and unzip it. You should get two files, one named patchlist.delimited.
Do the following three things:
#grep ^120536 patchlist.delimited
#smpatch get
#uname -a
Have you used the recommend optionif so what was the output:
-x idlist=<file> option and exclude this patch
With regards to your enquiry for Update Manager not working on non-global zones. This is not strictly true there are somes limitation to what the smpatch command can do in this environment. The limitation of Update Manager in a non-global zone environment are detail in the FAQ below:
http://www.sun.com/service/sunupdate/faq.html
However this issue has been addressed in the latest revision of Sun Update - Sun Update Connection Client, System Edition 1.0.4 - patch 121119-05.
This can be download from the link below, along with instructions for installation and patch dependancies:

Recommended patch 120445-01 will not install with Sol. 9 (09/2005)

Patch 120445-01 will not apply to a Solaris 9 (09/2005) setup. The hardware is an Ultra-80. Although it is recommended, it fails with the "patchadd" message:
Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in 120445-01 are not installed on this system.
The host was installed from scratch and the "smpatch" was run until it had no more patches to apply except this one.
For us, this patch is only an annoyance. When I cursorily read the description, I doubt that these features exists on this hardware.

I had to install the packages:
TSBWvplr.u
TSBWvplu.u
from the DVD media. I could not find these packages from the CD media that I used. I had to use another machine to extract the packages.
I saw another post where it mentioned that patch 120445-01 would not apply. I suspect that the package install of it already has this patch.

Patch 118844-28 fails to install on Ultra 20?

We're trying to run the standard updatemanager on our Ultra 20 running Solaris 10 x86. We've installed patches a number of times but we're hitting a wall with the recent kernel patch, 118844-28.
This patch shows up as needing to be applied in both the updatemanager gui as well as when we run smpatch analyze. The problem is that it doesn't seem like it will install even though the tools say that the installation procedure was successful. Specifically: we instruct the gui to install the patch, it goes off and looks like it's installing, it comes back and says that the installation is complete and successful and that we need to reboot the machine, we tell it to reboot the machine and it does. But when the machine comes back up the updatemanager (and smpatch) still says that this patch needs to be applied. And showrev says that we're still back at version 27. So it seems like it's properly applying the patch but then the patch isn't actually applied.
We tried to install the patch by hand with smpatch add in single user mode and we had a similar experience. The only exception being that the patch process complained that we had to have patch 117435-02 installed (which we do).
Has anybody seen this before? Has anybody gotten this patch to install on this hardware?

Yes, I agree with that fix- I just did it a little opposite:
# eeprom boot-device=/pci@0,0/pci-ide@11,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a
which added an extra alias (permanently) to my 'BIOS' settings-
# eeprom | grep boot
bootpath=/pci@0,0/pci-ide@7/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a
boot-device=/pci@0,0/pci-ide@7/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a
I re-ran the 10 Rec. Cluster and it not only installed the kernel patch, but, a handful of other patches in the bundle too.

Patch 5916667 gacutil fails to install Oracle.DataAccess.dll

Hi,
I am trying to apply patch 5916667 following the instructions in the readme file. Everything went well except for the step 9 (Section 2) from the readme stating:
9) Execute the following to install the new ODP.NET assembly:
gacutil /i Oracle.DataAccess.dll
NOTE: If you do not have gacutil.exe, you can drag-and-drop the
Oracle.DataAccess.dll to %SystemRoot%\assembly using Windows File Explorer.
The same applies to policy DLLs.
I get an error:
Failure adding assembly to the cache: Unknown Error
Could anyone suggest possible cause, please?
Thanks.

You would be more lucky to raise a service request for issue on patch.
Nicolas.

Security Patch APSB07-02 fails to install correctly

I have followed the instructions (although they skipped the
step about WHERE the wsconfig.jar file should be placed - in the
lib directory, btw) at
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-02.html
and when I run the command "java -Dtrace.ci=1 -jar wsconfig.jar
-upgrade -v" from the lib directory I receive a prompt back that
says the file is "corrupt or the wrong version of wsconfig.jar."
This is for the multi-server version running jrun4 updater 6.
Any help would be appreciated... thanks.

I figured out the problem after working with another user on
this forum, so I will post what I sent to Adobe as the answer.
In this security bulletin:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-02.html
several steps are simply left out of the process. We are using the
multi-server version with Jrun4 Updater 6, so I will use that as my
example and fill in the missing steps. The steps with >>
<< surrounding them are missing from the bulletin.
Backup the existing {jrun_root}\lib\wsconfig.jar to
wsconfig.jar.bu.
Download the hot fix (wsconfig-U6-65311.jar - 2.5 MB).
>> Unzip the file downloaded (wsconfig-U6-65311.zip) It
contains two files called wsconfig-U6-65311.jar and another file
called jrun-hotfix-65311.jar <<
>> Rename wsconfig-U6-65311.jar to wsconfig.jar
<<
Stop all ColdFusion MX servers, JRun servers and IIS (WWW
Publishing Services). Also stop the Windows Management
Instrumentation service to unlock the IIS connector.
Note: This step is important for ISPs. With IIS running, the
connector installer shuts down and restarts each site during the
upgrade, causing the upgrade to take much longer.
>> Move the wsconfig.jar file that you renamed to the
{jrun_root}\lib directory. <<
Navigate to the \jrun4\lib directory and run the connector
upgrade:
cd {jrun_root}\lib
java -Dtrace.ci=1 -jar wsconfig.jar -upgrade -v
Make sure the upgrade completed successfully.
Inspect {jrun_root}\lib\wsconfig\wsconfig.log for errors
Check the version tab of
{jrun_root}\lib\wsconfig\(number)\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll. The
"Product Version" item name field should indicate 4,0,6,108407
Another way to check the version is to query the
wsconfig.jar directly as follows:
java -jar wsconfig.jar -info
The command should return, "Macromedia JRun 4.0 (Build
108407)".
>> Move the file jrun-hotfix-65311.jar that you
unzipped earlier and save in {jrun_root}\servers\lib.

Photoshop CC 2015 Keeps Failing to Install: Problem With a Patch

Hi all,
I tried to install Photoshop. I got pretty far but then the installing stopped and bright orange letters popped up saying Installation Failed or something similar to that. I clicked on the Learn More link next to the message.
It said there was a problem with one of the patches, so it failed to install. It told me to re-try in a few minutes.
A few minutes later, I re-tried it and now it says Update Failed - Learn More. I kept re-trying and it ends up doing the same thing over and over.
It told me to contact customer support.
..so here I am.
How do I fix this?
Thanks

Benh89930539 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for update which is failing to apply. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC. You are welcome to post any specific errors located to this discussion.

Smpatch update ALERT: Failed to install patch

I do not even know where to start. Since installing Solaris 10 0606 it
seems every time I try to patch the system I get failures of one type
or another. One problem today has to do with zones:
"To install the new instance of this package in all zones you must
first remove the existing instance of this package from the global
zone first (via pkgrm) and then install the new instance of this
package in all zones."
If sun already knows a pkgrm must be run why can't the smpatch command
just do it?
Another problem seems to be
For patch 121018-03, required patch 120759-04 does not exist
If sun knows a patch is required which is not on the system just Getit
and install it.
Also, what is up with having to reboot the box to install patches?
Why? Has this always been a required step? Do these reboots pertain only to kernel patches .etc?
I have seen other postings in this forum expressing unhappiness with
the patch system, some mentioning testing lab/group or certification
issues. I think smpatch should have an option to send smpatch results
back to sun for review. That way the Certification Group could have
real life situations to investigate. Or do they know the problems
already and just dont want to fix them? Just once I would love it if
smpatch came back with no failures and I was assured the system was
patched, up to date and secure.

Enterprise users have strict policies on change management so dependent patches are not automatically installed when using "smpatch add". Neither are packages blithly uninstalled for zones if currently only existing in the global zone.
For your needs using "smpatch update" should analyse, download and install dependant patches in order for patches specified on the command line or for a global update. Note that that is with the exception of patches not matching the currently defined patch policy such as those needing a reboot. See the smpatch man page for information on policies.
Patches requiring reboots or being installed in single user mode are primarily for kernel and driver patches.
Your problems installing the Sun Studio 11 patches have been encountered previously in regards to globally installed packages (and are covered in this forum) and is due to a combination of bug ID's 6337009, 6214678 and 6374972 for the patching utilities of which the last is still open.
You will currently have to manually install the patches using patchadd with the "-G" flag whilst in the global zone to install them in the global zone only.

Problem: installing Recommend Patch Cluster: patch 140900-10 fails

I don't know if this is correct location for this thread (admin/moderator move as required).
We have a number of Solaris x86 hosts (ie 4) and I'm trying to get the patched and up to date.
I obtained the latest Recommended Patch Cluster (dated 28Sep2010).
I installed it on host A yesterday, 2 hours 9 mins, no problems.
I tried to install it on host B today, and that was just a critical failure.
Host B failed to install 140900-01, because the non global zones rejected the patch because dependancy 138218-01 wasn't installed in the non global zones.
Looking closer, it appears that 138218-01 is for global zone installation only; so it makes sense that the non global zones rejected it.
However, both hosts were in single user mode when installing the cluster and both hosts have non global zones.
140900-01 installed on host A with log:
| This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
| version of a package which is already installed. This installation
| will attempt to overwrite this package.
|
| Dryrun complete.

It looks as if the patch strategy is completely different for the two hosts; both are solaris x86 (A is a V40z; B is a V20z).
Trying to use "-G" with patchadd crabs the patch is for global zones only and stops (ie it's almost as if it thinks installation is being attempted in a non global zone).
Without "-G" same behavior as patch cluster install attempt (no surprise there).
I have inherited this machines; I am told each of these machines were upgraded to Solaris 10u6 in June 2009.
Other than the 4-5 months it took oracle to get our update entitlement to us, we've had no problems.
I'm at a loss here, I don't see anyone else having this type of issue.
Can someone point the way...?
What am I missing...?

Well, I guess what you see isn't what you get.
Guess I'm used to the fact USENET just left things formatted the way they were :-O

The StarOffice patches are most likely being recommended as there are one or more SUNWstaroffice packages installed on the system, but the patch installation cannot complete due to an incomplete installation of StarOffice. Check for any installed StarOffice packages and remove them if present:

Smpatch update ALERT: Failed to install patch 121616-02

I am getting various Failed to install patch alerts when doing smpatch update. Many patches are aparently applied successfuly, but others are not. I do not have Sun Support since it is my personal X86 box. Are other people getting these failures? If so, what is done to investigate / fix the problems? If I had support what would Sun recommend be done to correct the problem? Should smpatch always run clean with no errors? Regards.

I will post to the other forum as well, but I can't think of a more "general" Solaris discussion topic than how to / what to expect when applying patches. I am not sure I agree with your comment "it's best to only install the patches that are really needed". I thought smpatch update "decided" which patches are needed given the system it is run on.
Is your comment based upon best practices published somewhere? How do you as a sysAdmin decide which patches are really needed?
I would like to hear from the community how they patch their boxes and if smpatch is working for them, especially in a production environment. I have a stand alone system, but how are people in an environment with test systems patching? Are they using smpatch? In general, how are people keeping their systems updated, reliable, bug free and secure?
Regards,

Problem install Recommended Patch cluster

Trying to install the Recommended patch cluster on Ultra 45s, on each one, the 40th patch, 120272-28, fails, and I don't understand why. Here's the snippet from the log:

No patches to install.

finish time : 2010.11.30 08:41:42
FINISHED : application of 120272-28
I don't understand why it fails, rather than just being "skipped", as several other patches are. I assume the failure isn't coming from the fact that it's been declared incompatible, but rather the "unhandled subprocess exit status". How do I determine what that is?
Or, better yet, how do I tell the installcluster script to just not do that one?
Thanks!

did you try and removed the IDR? I.e: patchrm IDR138540-01 ?
