Hello,
after upgrading a RISC running AIX 5.2 to maintenance level 02, the oslevel
command no longer prints the installed maintenance level:

# oslevel -r
# oslevel -rq
Known Recommended Maintenance Levels
------------------------------------
5200-02
5200-01
# oslevel -l 5.2.0.0

The command worked OK yesterday, displaying: 5200-02 :-(
No new SW was installed since :-((
Any ideas what could be wrong here?

Let's see:
1. check free space in /usr for /usr/lib/instl
2. Rebuild the cache (see the oslevel manpage)
3. Run it this way: "ksh -x /usr/bin/oslevel", and see what command
is actually failing with the 'unable to acquire lock' message.
On aix5, you can then run 'truss oslevel -r' to figure out why/where it
is failing.
Also look for old/remnants of /usr/lib/instl/.oslevel.lock and remove it if
t you are sure the program is not running.
