One problem I have now is, Yast/YOU does not offer the patch that is supposed to resolve the "not uptodate" message from Spident -vv command. The patch is available from the patch server, but is not listed when you attempt to do an online update. I have no idea why the patch is not listed so that it can be selected for installation.

YAST did not automatically select all of our packages. Here's how I was able to get clean results from the SPident command. 1. SPident -vvv (like Dominic stated) 2. Note the packages that have the - (minus sign) next to them. These are the conflicting packages. 3. Go back into YAST Online Update and manually select the conflicting packages with the + (plus sign). 4. Continue with the update process of the selected packages. 5. Run the SPident again and hopefully you'll see the following: CONCLUSION: System is up-to-date! found SLES-9-s390x-SP3 + "online updates" Charlie >>> LJ Mace <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 9/20/2006 9:36 AM >>> I tried the command and got: found SLES-9-s390-SP1 + "online updates" expected SLES-9-s390-SP3 l2xxxx1:/opt/scripts # uname -a Linux l2xxxxx1 2.6.5-7.276-s390 #1 SMP Mon Jul 24 10:45:31 UTC 2006 s390 s390 s390 GNU/Linux What does it mean expected?
