Hi Don and all,
In the READMEs of the new patches 124630-60 and 119534-29 a note has been added:
NOTE: The list of 'patches required with this patch' (above) has been
modified from the list specified at patch creation time. The reason for
the modification is that one or more of the required patches was
either never released or withdrawn after its release. The following
substitutions (which are guaranteed to satisfy the original requirements)
were therefore made:
124628-03 replaces 126677-02
This replacement is a good thing, but unfortunately it has only taken place in
the README and not in the "patchinfo" files nor in patchdiag.xref - those still
refer to 126677-02 (which, as the note says, has never been released). Now PCA
has always taken care of that by internally replacing 126677-02 with 124628-03
when resolving dependencies, so there's no new problem.
It would be nice, though, now that the problem has been noticed, to fix this
issue in all places (patch README, patchinfo, patchdiag.xref) to make this
consistent again.
The same applies to the corresponding x86 patches, BTW (non-existant 126678
required by 124631 and 119535). And just for completeness, here is the list of
all non-existant patches to be found as required patches in patchdiag.xref, and
how they are taken care of in PCA:
($r eq "125077-02") && ($r="120011-09"); # 119757
($r eq "125078-02") && ($r="120012-10"); # 119758
($r eq "125486-01") && ($r="120011-14"); # 126206
($r eq "125487-01") && ($r="120012-14"); # 126207
($r eq "114431-03") && ($r="117172-17"); # 116473
Read like this: Patch 119757 requires 125077-02, which doesn't exist, so it
should require 120011-09 instead.
