I recently updated one of our servers from 6100-08-05-1415 to 6100-08-06-1441 and the `oslevel -s` is showing the correct version, but when I run an `lppchk -v` I am hit with:
Code:
lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring
the system to a consistent state:
bos.net.tcp.client 6.1.8.19 (usr: COMMITTED, root: not installed)
Output from `lslpp -l bos.net.tcp.client`, wherein I am assuming this is what it's complaining about (version in /etc/ is lower than version in /usr/) but I am not sure how to fix that...
Code:
Fileset Level State Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
bos.net.tcp.client 6.1.8.19 COMMITTED TCP/IP Client Support
Path: /etc/objrepos
bos.net.tcp.client 6.1.8.18 COMMITTED TCP/IP Client Support
I have attempted to upgrade bos.net.tcp.client 6.1.8.19 to bos.net.tcp.client 6.1.8.20 from the next service pack, but that then errors out with:
Code:
0503-466 installp: The build date requisite check failed for fileset bos.net.tcp.client.
Installed fileset build date is 1316. Selected fileset does not have a build date, but one is required.
0503-466 installp: The build date requisite check failed for fileset bos.net.tcp.client.
Installed fileset build date is 1341. Selected fileset does not have a build date, but one is required.
installp: Installation failed due to BUILDDATE requisite failure.
Any sort of downgrade also fails on this package so I cant even bring it down to the base level and then re-upgrade it. I have opened a PMR with IBM support but they're extraordinarily slow to respond so I was hoping that others here may have some experience rectifying issues like this.
1. Find the file, which contains the fileset bos.net.tcp.client. If you've run bffcreate, it should have a name starting with bos.net.tcp...
2. Try to force installation of the fileset
Code:
installp -acFXYd filename.bff bos.net.tcp.client
3. If it doesn't help, find the same fileset on your AIX CD and install it first using the same command above.
4. Don't forget to put the output of all commands you run to the topic.

Pre-installation Failure/Warning Summary
----------------------------------------
0503-500 installp: After completion of pre-installation processing,
there were no installable base level filesets found on the
installation media. Note that use of the force install option
(-F flag) will cause installp to consider only base level filesets
(fileset updates will be ignored). No installation has occurred.
However when searching within that directory:
Code:
# ls -l | grep bos.net.tcp.client
-rw-rw-r-- 1 me mygroup 31207424 Oct 02 12:18 bos.net.tcp.client.6.1.8.1.U

We're not using an AIX CD. We downloaded the full SP from FixCentral and are storing it on an NFS share. I was also able to install it just fine on another server from the same source without it giving me these issues.
1. If you are an official IBM AIX user, you have access to Entitled Software Support, where you can download the full CD.
2. You receive your AIX CD/DVD with every new server you've bought.
3. It is a good practice to make a copy of the CD and save it somewhere. If you don't do it, it is a good time to start.
4. It is also a good practice to read what others write.
Some more notices:
1. Make su - or sudo su -.
2. I saw a lot of troubles in my life trying installing packages from an NFS share. I can't explain it. In different environments with different NFS settings and shares. Sometimes everything is ok, sometimes some mystic with package installation. Try to copy the fileset to the local directory and install it.
3. Find an AIX CD from TL8. Then you will have access to .I package (installable), not .U package (updates) and you can try to apply the fix again.

I'll go ahead and download the full CD of the OS and hopefully that will work as installing from a local directory did not. Thanks for your ideas and help with this!

Another command to run with cases like this is:
Code:
lppchk -f [filesetname]
to see what files are missing.
As this is bos.net.tcpip.* I am wondering if this system was originally installed using SbD (Secure by Default) - as that removes some additional files - and it is known to be difficult to update down the road.

I inherited this environment about 3-4 months ago and I don't believe it was set up using IBM best practices. Also the lppchk -f is something I ran yesterday and it returned nothing. I am going to be giving kgb's ideas a shot here soon, just completing the download of the 6.1 iso (or udf as IBM now provides). Thanks.

Hi,
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon).
How can I :
1-install a package (exemple : compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128.src.rpm)
2-uninstall (or delete or deinstall) a package (exemple : compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122).
Many thanks before. (6 Replies)
I've got a c++ program that works fine on Linux, compiles on Solaris fine with g++, but will not write to a fstream correctly in a class object.
And I've run into numerous other bugs in the disk management.
