When you are loading HP-UX 10.20 systems from multiple depots
that contain patches, it's easy to run into the situation
where patches in one depot supersede patches that have already been
loaded from another. The superseded patches will prevent themselves
from loading by giving an error. Ignite-UX indicates this failure
by changing the client icon in the client-server screen to red.
What to do
To work around this problem, use the Ignite-UX /opt/ignite/bin/fix_patches script on each depot that contains patches. This script
modifies the patch's checkinstall script so that it will "EXCLUDE" itself from loading
without giving an ERROR.
See /opt/ignite/share/doc/ace_hwe_setup for more details. Although there is no manpage for fix_patches, enter the following to see command-line syntax:
/opt/ignite/bin/fix_patches -?
