bos.net.tcp.client in BROKEN state
johan
state..
My experiences with packages in broken state is that to solve the
problem you have to install a newer version of the package.
But since 4.3.3.10 is the latest, I'm stuck.
Can someone give me a hint on what to do?!

You can try to force install an earlier version. Deinstall may be an option,
but you are likely to get more filesets deinstalled than you want.

I was able to do this all but one of the broken filesets. Beucase
there's no method (that I know of anyways) to force an update, nor can
an update be removed. I had to reinstall the base level fileset which
removes all of the updates, then I able to apply the update again.
However, I am unable to force reinstall bos.rte.SRC. I'm assuming this
is because the logic is similar to not being able to remove a bos.rte
fileset? What is interesting is in the output below it thinks 4.3.2.0 is
an 'update' as opposed to a base level fileset. The same occurs if I
attempt to reinstall 4.3.3.0. This did not occur for the other broken
filesets I reinstalled (some X11 and bos.adt filesets).
Is the only solution to reinstall the entire base operating system and
reapply all updates?

around it, but I seem to remember that the solution is in the error message
:

Try to force (-F) a re-install with COMMIT (-c) rather than APPLY (-a). I
think this works. However, be warned, all filesets in the APPLY state will
be comitted!

I'm using the Websm GUI to install and the 'commit' option was checked.
"installp -acFNpQqvwX -d /dev/cd0 -V2 -e /var/adm/ras/nim.installp -f
File 2>&1"
Just for kicks I removed the 'apply' flag and tried it from the command
line:
# installp -cFNpQqvwX -d /dev/cd0 bos.rte.SRC 4.3.2.0
0503-416 installp: The -F and -c flags are mutually exclusive.
0503-402 installp: The NO SAVE (-N) option is invalid without
the COMMIT (-c) option.
0503-406 installp: The -d flag is incompatible as given.
0503-406 installp: The -q flag is incompatible as given.
Usage installp: Commit Applied Software Updates (-c):
installp -c [-e LogFile] [-V Number] [-bgpvwX] [-O{[r][s][u]}]
{ FileSet [Level] ... | -f ListFile | all }
Although bos.rte.SRC is the only fileset mentioned when I 'Verify All
Installed Software', I just noticed the following in the installation
history for bos.rte.install (the GUI shows the current version at
4.3.3.3 with an exclamation-point-inside-a-triangle icon. I beginning to
think parts of it are still broken even though 4.3.3.11 was committed.
Perhaps this is causing the problems above. Of course, it makes it
tought to reinstall anything else, like bos.rte.install :)
