Running chkmin on this system tells me I need to install patch 124204-04 when that obviously isn't the case: bash-3.00# ./chkmin 124204-04 124204-04 I've made the following addition to not overwrite a higher patch rev with a lower one in the code, which I think should address the problem but not sure if it's too simple and I've missed something: bash-3.00# diff -u chkmin.orig chkmin --- chkmin.orig Fri May 13 18:42:26 2011 +++ chkmin Fri May 13 18:53:46 2011 @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ chomp; $_ =~ s/Requires:.*$//; foreach my $i (split (/[, ]+/, $_)) { next unless ($i =~ /^(\d{6})-(\d{2})$/); + next if (exists $p{$1} and $p{$1} ge $2); $p{$1}=$2; } } Has anyone else come across this issue?
