FYI: I received both of your posts.

I would expect the “—list” option to list missing dependencies.  It depends on 
the patchdiag.xref file which has been known to contain errors.

Here’s an example:

/var/tmp/pca --list 150400-01
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Dec/08/14
Host: pdkermit (SunOS 5.10/Generic_150400-05/sparc/sun4v)
List: 150400-01 (1/0)

Patch  IR   CR RSB Age Synopsis
-- -- - -- --- --- ---
150400 05 < 18 RS-  24 SunOS 5.10: Kernel Patch


/var/tmp/pca --list 150400
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Dec/08/14
Host: pdkermit (SunOS 5.10/Generic_150400-05/sparc/sun4v)
List: 150400 (2/48)

Patch  IR   CR RSB Age Synopsis
-- -- - -- --- --- ---
150510 -- < 03 R--  24 SunOS 5.10: /var/svc/manifest/system/sysidtool.xml patch
150400 05 < 18 RS-  24 SunOS 5.10: Kernel Patch


(Note: the first run is using “150400-01” and the second is using “150400”)

Do you suspect a problem?

Hi,

Why did I get an e-mail back saying this is a suspicious email.  It is a 
legitimate e-mail.


Will this script list all patch dependencies for a given patch?

Thanks,

Ok,

I actually ran it on a linux box, since the linux box doesn't have showrev and 
obviously doesn't have any of the patches it needs.  It lists all the required 
patches.

Thanks,

Is there an option to list all required patch dependencies of the patch?  I'm 
needing that info for systems that are not on the internet.  It would be nice 
to run this on a system that is not necessarily in sync with the system that I 
need to actually install the patch on.  So for example if I'm running it on a 
system that has one of the req patches, but the system I actually install it on 
doesn't have that patch, than once I get the patch on the system to install it 
I'm missing one of the required patches.  Unfortunately this is a pain for 
those of us who have systems not connected to the internet and can't easily get 
files back and forth due to security constraints.  I guess I can put the xref 
and script on the machine in question but that isn't always an option either.  
I guess I could look at the script to modify it for my extreme case, because I 
see all deps listed in the xref, unless you have any other options.

BTW just to clarify.  I don't believe -debug, as I alluded to earlier, actually 
lists all the patches needed.  Running on a linux box does, since it doesn't 
contain any of the patches, does. :)
