Patch Name:  PHCO_10868

Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 sed(1) cumulative patch

Creation Date: 97/04/25

Repost:	98/02/23
	A problem was discovered with superseding patch PHCO_12862.
	With PHCO_12862 installed, when using locales other than
	'C', sed(1) would not properly handle the end-of-line
	anchoring character '$'.  PHCO_10868 will be re-released
	until a replacement is available.

Path Name:  /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_10868

Symptoms:
        PHCO_10868:
          sed -n -e '/^.*1$/p' -e '/[23]$/p' doesn't handle
          regexp correctly.

          'sed' for 10.20 (rev 78.9.1.1) has a defect searching
          for string.

          10.20's sed broken using pattern "/\A$/" in script.

          sed does not handle next/join command.

          sed 78.9 has a problem with escaped new-lines.

          10.20 sed incompatible with previous releases
          (loss of output)

        PHCO_9211:
          Poor performance of 10.X regular expression processing
          in comparison to 9.x.

Installation Instructions:
        Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
        SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
        and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
        restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
        before installing this patch.
        ------------------------------------------------------------
        1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

        2. Login as root.

        3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

        4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

                cd /tmp
                sh PHCO_10868

        5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
            patch:

                swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
                        -s /tmp/PHCO_10868.depot

        5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
            server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

                swcluster -i -b

            This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
            force all clients to be shut down.

            WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
                     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
                     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
                     serious problems.

            The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
            you must specify:

                alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
                source depot path    -  /tmp/PHCO_10868.depot

            To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
            "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
            from the Menubar.

        5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

                - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
                  the patch on the cluster server.

                - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
                  the patch on the cluster clients.

        By default swinstall will archive the original software in
        /var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_10868.  If you do not wish to retain a
        copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
        named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

        Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
                 patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
                 when using this feature.

        It is recommended that you move the PHCO_10868.text file to
        /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

        To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
        tape drive, use the command:

                dd if=/tmp/PHCO_10868.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
