Patches won't update on OpenServer 5.05 2

[kmchar]

Hi

I have just put a fresh installation of SCO Openserver 5.05 on another machine at work. I can load the patches onto the hard disk, but when I try to apply the patch I get the error message :

No components are eligible to be patched by SCO:SoftMgr:rs505a

I also tried different patches like OSS497C, OSS600A etc, and I still get the same message.

Can anyone please explain to me what this means.

Thanks

Kelvin

Strange. Are you certain it's 5.0.5? What's the output of uname -X?

Hi Annihilannic

The output fron uname -X is:

System = SCO_SV
Node = scosysv
Release = 3.2v5.0.0
KernalID =95/04/19
Machine = Pentium
BusType = ISA
Serial = 2CH000633
Users = 5-user
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 1

Sorry it looks like I have given you the wrong information, but I have just taken over from the guy who normally runs all this stuff, and unix is all new to me.

You need 5.0.0 patches , not 5.0.5 patches.

Give the wrong symptoms, get the wrong solutions.

Hi Ed

Any chance you could give me a link to the download site for OS500 patches, when I search all I find are patch files for OS505, OS504 etc.

Thanks
