smpatch disfunction after patch 118855-30 and grater
Hello.
smpatch (x86) does not work after 118855-30 and grater patch.
smpatch depends on "showrev -p" (that fails SEGV core dump) to obtain list of installed patches.
I found temporary solution to edit /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcsr/pkginfo and remove long line PATCH_INFO_118855....
I also found bug id 6489035 and previous ( http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/advsearch.do?collection=all&max=10&langu age=en&queryKey1=6489035 ) (5-nov-2006 :-O) that is flagged "10-fix delivered".
My question: Which patch deliver the fix ?
(smpatch update without support contract does not deliver the fix).
Thank you, M.C>

I see this, too. showrev -p dumping core seems to be sprinkled through the history of Solaris releases
> uname -a
SunOS flarg 5.10 Generic_118855-36 i86pc i386 i86pc
> showrev -p
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
And yes, which patch is it that supposedly has fixed this? Cmon Sun, throw us a bone here :-) Is showrev deprecated officially now...surely there must be a better way than this to do it :-)

The patch to fix showrev is:
SPARC: 124630-03
X86: 124631-03
For reference the related CR's are:
CR 6519422 - KU 118855-36 breaks showrev command, which in turn breaks updatemanager
CR 6489035 - showrev core on x86 systems installed with S10U3B9 or s10u2 with 118855-30
