Upgrade of SMCgcc in Solaris fails
Description
Date: 17/Feb/2014
OS Version: Solaris 10
Symptoms:
When upgrading on Solaris, you get the message:
"Current administration requires that a unique instance of the package be created. However, the maximum number of instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the same system has already been met. No changes were made to the system.
Resolution:
In the file /var/sadm/install/admin/default
there is a line that affects pkgadd upgrade
If "instance=unique"
You cannot upgrade , you have to remove and then re-add a package
if "instance=overwrite"
You can upgrade , you don't have to remove and then re-add a package
(so just use vi, or similar, to edit the file and you will be able to upgrade SMCgcc)
