APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • installp might fail to update silently
    /usr/lib/objrepos/fix
    odm database.
    The failure might be partial or total. So has fix odm
    contains TL and SP levels oslevel -q and oslevel -s
    might provide incorrect information eventhough
    bos.rte.installp show correct level.
    

Local fix

  • If bos.rte.install was in updated in apply one can try
    to reject and reapply.
    If it is commited, only way is to fix
    /usr/lib/objrepos/fix
    using bos.rte.installp.fixdata from liblpp.a shipped with
    the update.
    

Problem summary

  • When running oslevel, not all the applied packages will be at
    the expected levels.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Wait for the inu_update_fixdata to complete before continuing
    the apply in installp.
