Hi,

I had a similar question some time ago (which remained unanswered):
In my HP-UX software package I use
os_release B.11.23|B.11.31
According to the documentation (man 4 sd) this is perfectly OK, but swinstall
doesn't list the software package as installable.

In a different package that can be installed I used
os_release ?.11.[123]*

As the documentation is so wrong, does anybody know whether I'll ahve to use
"\|" instead of "|" (like in egrep) to make that work.

A lot of documentation is rather worthless if it's wrong.

Who can clarify?

Regards,
Ulrich

That's not true: Both variants work. My mistake was that I had used a depot
that still had the old versions of the products that doid not know about HP-UX
11.31.

Sorry,
