I didn't install in single-user, so the tech doesn't want to escalate
it, and I'm getting ready for vacation so I don't have time to deal
with it right now.

But, after installing 122663-06, I couldn't boot any zones and I
couldn't create zones.

[root@cookies:~]# zoneadm -z test boot
zoneadm: zone 'test': Failed to initialize privileges: No such file or directory
zoneadm: zone 'test': call to zoneadmd failed
[root@cookies:~]# zonecfg -z test2
test2: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:test2> create
zonecfg:test2> set zonepath=/zone/test2
zonecfg:test2> commit
ld.so.1: zonecfg: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/sbin/zonecfg: symbol zonecfg_add_index: referenced symbol not found
zsh: killed zonecfg -z test2
[root@cookies:~]#

I also couldn't backout the patch with patchrm, since it tries to boot
non-running zones, which fails. I copied the files from -05 from
another system and all was well. Case 65195772 if anyone from Sun
cares to look.

The sparc version (122662) is only at -02 for some reason.

I don't have access to "case" numbers (that's a support thing), but
what you're lacking here is patch 122659-06, which hasn't been
released.

I agree with you. I don't think that patch was constructed correctly.
I don't see how an old zonecfg could be used with a new libzonecfg, or
vice-versa. It's not a one-way dependency.

The likely solution is to get rid of 122659-06 and fold its contents
into 122663. I don't see any bugs filed on this, so I'll file one.

After a bit of searching, I found it. This is CR 6483014. I'll
update that bug.

While we're at it - this seems unusual, too:

Patch IR CR RSB Age Synopsis
------ -- - -- --- --- ------------------------------------------
120901 -- < 03 R-- 289 SunOS 5.10_x86: libzonecfg patch
122663 -- < 06 --- 4 SunOS 5.10_x86: libzonecfg patch

Two patches for libzonecfg, both replacing /usr/lib/libzonecfg.so.1
and /usr/lib/amd64/libzonecfg.so.1. While it's no real problem, as
122663 requires 120901, it's confusing. Maybe the extra files from
120901 should go into 122663, too.

That's a different issue and has to do with the way some ZFS-related
changes were done. As I understand it, both are valid and need to
remain separate.

The problem in the original posting isn't just an "unusual" synopsis;
it's an incorrect patch.

Do SPARC patches have the same problem? I see that 122658-03 has just
appeared. 122662-02 seems to be current. Our Oracle people would be
very unhappy of their zones wouldn't boot.

SPARC (122662-02) is working fine for me.

It's just that past experience has shown that two patches which
install the same files always caused problems sooner or later.
Usually the older patch was published in a newer revision, and
did not include the fixes from the other patch. Look up 113240
and 114497 (both "CDE 1.5: dtsession patch") for a past, real-
world example.

I know. Just prefer to stop problems from appearing later, than
having to fix them when they manifest.

The corresponding SPARC patches haven't made it out yet.
