fresh solaris 10 x86 install patch update problems 119060-17 ...

Just yesterday, i installed a fresh Solaris 10 x86 onto some pc hardware. After getting solaris installed and issues with my network card, i downloaded and installed the free version of the update manager 1.0.x. Next, i proceeded to update all the general patches for the solaris 10 system. I started with the command 'pprosvc -i' from a terminal. It then proceeded to download and validate a bunch of patches successfully until it hit the following 3 patches:

119060-17 - X11 6.6.2_x86: Xsun patch

122213-10 - GNOME 2.6.0_x86: GNOME Desktop Patch

122912-02 - SunOS 5.10_x86: Apache 1.3 Patch

All 3 failed some kind of validation and then crashed the pprosvc program, at which point it exited with the following error:

122912-02 cannot be validated

119060-17 cannot be validated

122912-02 cannot be validated

Unexpected Failure: java.lang.Throwable: ERROR: Failed to validate the digital signature(s).

I also tried to use the GUI Update Manager to update, hoping the problem was isolated to pprosvc, but that problem was also in the GUI with a similar error message:

Error occurred...The detailed error message is: Unexpected Failure: java.lang.Throwable: ERROR: Failed to validate the digitial signature(s)

Anyone know why Sun's update patch process is so troublesome?

Getting Tired of Solaris Updates...

I should mention that this is the free solaris 10 x86 install and i don't have a service contract with Sun. If this problem persists, i don't think i'll get one, as i see only further problems after buying one.

tired and confused

Hi,

There is an issue with this that is currently being investigated. There is another thread that may shed some light on what is happening here;

http://forum.sun.com/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=316

Thread title is : Sun UC, Digitally Signed Patches Using New Verisign Certificates

In the short-term please ensure that the patch mentioned in it is installed.

To quote part of mentioned thread above:

"Once the Sun Update Connection client software is upgraded with patch 121118-06 (SPARC) or 121119-06 (x86/x64) or later revisions normal behavior will resume. "

If this fails to resolve your problem, would you be kind enough to post the output of the following command for analysis please;

# showrev -p | egrep -e '121454|121119|120336|121082|121564|122232|119789'

Sincerely,

Moderator.
