Message-ID: <1993Jan27.191018.21657@bradford.ac.uk> Date: 27 Jan 93 19:10:18 GMT Organization: University of Bradford, UK Lines: 35 Originator: 90908106@columbia Nntp-Posting-Host: columbia-fddi I grabbed a copy of the new patchkit (0.2) from my local 386bsd mirror (src.doc.ic.ac.uk), but have had some problems with it. Is it me or is it the patchkit? Here's what I did: (all as root) ftp'd new patchkit (file patchkit-0.2.tar.Z length 478731 date Jan 24 22:23) De-installed all patches from old kit (DALL) Moved old kit to /usr/oldpatch and deleted /patch link untarred new patch kit to /usr/patch ran bin/mkpatchdirs ran bin/patches all the patches deearchived etc did an IALL all patches sucessfully installed tried to deinstall patch00603 reported "required by patch00602" so tried to deinstall patch00602 succesfull tried to deinstall patch00603 reported "user has deleted file (?cant remember?) - can't deinstall" tried reinstalling patch00602 succesfull tried deinstalling patch00603 again reported "required by patch00055" It looks to me as though it might be regarding PREREQUISITE patches as DEPENDANT patches in deinstallation. Is this the case? Have I done something stupid? Has anyone else experienced problems? -- Thomas Sandford | t.d.g.sandford@bradford.ac.uk
