Connection reset
I keep getting a "Connection reset" when trying to update systems, using either Update Connection or smpatch, eg
# smpatch update
Failure: Connection reset
Or, in swupas.log
UpdateAnalysis: executing cmd: /usr/sbin/smpatch analyze -@ -C patchpro.patchset=current
UpdateAnalysis: cmd exit code: 1
UpdateAnalysis: cmd output: Failure: Connection reset
install msg: Error occuredwhile executing the command orwhile downloading the detectors detectors or database cu
rrent orwhile analyzing the system to determine the updates. Verify that valid options and arguments are specified with the c
ommand and that the system is configured and registered properly. The detailed error message is: Failure: Connection reset
Any ideas how this can be resolved?
Thanks in advance.

This system has a direct connection to the internet. smpatch has worked previously, as has Update Connection. I don't have the date when this stopped working I'm afraid, only noticed it today.

The default patch source in the smpatch get output indicates that you have Update Connection 1.0.6 installed.
A few months following the change to using Akamai distruted servers to provide patches with Update Connection 1.0.8 (patch 121118-08 for Sparc and 121119-08 for X86), you now need to upgrade to this version to download patches. The default patch source would change to "https://getupdates1.sun.com/".
