As far as .iso images, etc. I believe the media used is from 2013 - when 6100-08-03 was the base install image.
The filesets you are looking for are:
And, a surprising filename - because there is still one fileset that is labeled 6.1.6.0 even though most are 6.1.8.X
So, I hope this gives you an idea of what file to look for to get that fileset properly installed so that you can start doing updates.

Ok we found the issue, and it was pretty stupid. The bos.net.tcp.client pre upgrade check-up script was failing, causing the package to fail the install (or just be skipped). What was the cause of it failing you ask? No sendmail.cf file in /etc/mail. Once I created that file, the patch worked seemlessly. That seemed pretty ridiculous to me but thanks again for your help.

Yes, thanks for the update - but I find it surprising that lppchk -f did not spot it as missing.
Can you get output similar to this?
Wildcard checking ... sendmail.cf error still there btw...
If I mentioned the wrong command above (with just the -f argument) - please accept my apologies, because lppchk is what I meant.
And I would like to take this moment to repeat to a wider audience - what I was telling a customer this week - removing files that installp (or any software management program) thinks is installed - without using the program so it can update it's history aka data regarding installed files, by definition breaks system integrity - and is begging trouble. (My customer this week had different problems - a package that has package XXX as a dependency did not work because all of XXX was no longer installed (THEIR security department had done an audit and identified file to be removed because they had not been accessed for XXX days. THAT policy is now being reevaluated.)

The formatting is terrible - accept my apologies - here is the short description
One of the "features" of installp is the option to include scripts at "pre", "post", and final "config" scripts.
The primary purpose of pre_i and pre_u (pre-install and pre-update) is to be sure that the system is in a known state and passes prerequisites. That is, these are run before the software in the package is installed.
The post_i or post_u scripts are a moment to verify that the files installed correctly; this is then followed by the "config" scripts that can perform automated configuration - if any.
I wrote this up in more detail - for myself initially - but have it online - just scroll down a bit - here: buildaix - AIXTOOLS
Hope this helps explain why an update could fail!

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.
