Errors checking patch level during second and subsequent installs on Solaris 8

"Checking whether the required patches are applied. Please wait...awk: record 'Patch: 108528_15 Obs...' has too many fields record number 5 done"

"Patch: 108827-20 is not applied. Please apply the latest patch for proper functionality of Novell eDirectory 8.7.0"

note

Here are the steps for duplication:

1 - Install Falcon on Solaris 8 with latest patch levels from Sun --> install seems to go fine.

2 - Use ndsconfig to remove the server from the tree.

3 - Use ndsconfig to add server to a tree, note the following errors when checking patch level:

"%% Checking whether the required patches are applied. Please wait...awk: record 'Patch: 108528_15 Obs...' has too many fields record number 5 done.

%% Patch: 108827-20 is not applied. Please apply the latest patch for proper functionality of Novell eDirectory 8.7.0."

4 - patch 108827-25 is installed on the system, and eDir doesn't recognize it as newer than 108827-20.

5 - This occurs on each successive install attempt. NOTE: Install continues despite the errors.

fix

Novell Engineering is aware of the issue and is working towards a resolution.
