TEM 8.2.1175 environment having problems applying some SLES10 SP4 patch fixlets
eg.
121022 - Recommended update for openssl-certs - SLES10 SP4 - (x86-64)
121023 - Mandatory update for bind - SLES10 SP4 - (x86-64)
due to “Dependency Resolver Failure” on file “release-notes-sles-10.4.11-0.8.1.x86_64.rpm”.
Tried to manually install “release-notes-sles-10.4.11-0.8.1.x86_64.rpm” downloaded from Novell it shows
rpm -ivh release-notes-sles-10.4.11-0.8.1.x86_64.rpm
Preparing… ########################### (100%)
package release-notes-sles-10.4.11-0.8.69
that installed one is at a NEWER level than the Dependency Failure one?
What is required to be able to apply the above 2 patch fixlets?
eg.
-
Do I need to downgrade to release-notes-sles-10.4.11-0.8.1.x86_64.rpm?
-
Do I need to remove the dependency from the patch fixlets ? How ?
-
SLES11 seems to be working much better in this area regarding Dependency Resolution?
Is there any reason SLES10 is more problematic ?
Found an RFE (ie.

Install required prerequisite patches SLES 10
which describes similar issue, but looking if a workaround if available now.
Thanks in advance … lgomba.
