lppchk errors: bos.rte.filesystem

Hi all,

I installed AIX 5.3 (TL 5300-08-01) and after that I updated to TL 5300-09-01.

The problem is that, when I issue "lppchk -v" I get the following error:

# lppchk -v
lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring
the system to a consistent state:
bos.rte.filesystem 5.3.9.0 (not installed; requisite fileset)
bos.rte.filesystem 5.3.9.0 (not installed; requisite fileset)

However, the system reports that bos.rte.filesystem is installed:

# lslpp -l bos.rte.filesystem
Fileset Level State Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
bos.rte.filesystem 5.3.9.1 COMMITTED Filesystem Administration
Path: /etc/objrepos
bos.rte.filesystem 5.3.9.1 COMMITTED Filesystem Administration

oslevel -s reports 5300-09-01-0847

I don't understand why lppchk complains. Perhaps I am missing something here.

Should I worry about the lppchk errors?
What can I do to avoid them?

Thanks in advance.

We ar not that high in TL/SP yet, but you could try to apply the update again and see if it still complains.

You could also check the history for that fileset like this:

Code:
lslpp -h bos.rte.filesystem

Maybe something is missing.

Hi zaxxon,

thanks for your reply.
This is the output of lslpp -l bos.rte.filesystem

Code:
# lslpp -h bos.rte.filesystem
  Fileset         Level     Action       Status       Date         Time

                  5.3.9.1   COMMIT       COMPLETE     12/10/08     23:51:08

I have exactly the same output in another partition and lppchk does not complain.

However, I noticed that, when listing the installed software and superseded levels I get this:

Code:
  
Fileset                      Level  State  Type  Description (Uninstaller)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  bos.rte.filesystem         5.3.8.0    C     F    Filesystem Administration
                             5.3.9.0    ?     F    Filesystem Administration
                             5.3.9.1    C     F    Filesystem Administration

In the other LPAR this does not happen, I only get the lines referring to versions 5.3.8.0, 5.3.9.1.

Apparently this indicates that 5.3.9.0 version is in an inconsistent state.
Can I do something to fix this?

I have tried re-applying the update but the system reports there are no installable filesets in the installation media because they are already installed.

Thanks again.

My guess is that your installp database is corrupted somehow. Have you already committed the installed filesets? If not maybe committing them helps.

It looks like the TL9 base level fileset was not correctly installed and you upgraded this with an upgrade package. It might help to reapply the base level fileset bos.rte.filesystem.5.3.9.0 with the "force" option and then update it again. Do a "commit" preceeding this and after reinstalling it because stepping back will definitely be impossible after that. If this is possible (lacking an AIX system right now i down't know what bos.rte.filesystem contains) deinstall the package completely and install anew.

I hope this helps.

Maybe it helps; it contains following (oslevel: 5300-07-02-0806):

I am now downloading TL 5300-09 (with no service packs).
I'll try to force the installation of bos.rte.filesystem 5.3.9.0 and to apply the SP1 again.

I'll let you know the result.

Hello,

I downloaded TL09 and tryied installing bos.rte.filesystem 5.3.9.0 with the "force" option.
The installation fails because aparently it can't find any installable base level fileset. I don't undertand why.

If I try without the force option it says that bos.rte.filesystem is already installed.

I don't think deinstalling is an option since bos.rte.filesystem has a lot of dependencies.
