Problem:
The installation of a specific patch
is blocked due to an existing system file that is unknown.
Cause:
Generally this situation occurs when system
files are placed on the system through manual intervention.
For example this
may have been the result of installing a prerelease patch received from Compaq
Services or a system administrator's customization of a DIGITAL UNIX file.
Until you confirm otherwise, the unknown system files should be viewed
as intentional customizations that are important for proper system operation.
As such, care should be taken to understand why the system files have been
customized.
Action:
Determine the origin of the existing
unknown system files.
The steps you take will be determined by the reason
your system files were manually changed.

Problem:
A specific patch cannot be installed
because the product software subset is not installed on your system.
Causes:
Generally this is a informational message
and no further action is required.
However, this message may also occur due
to an internal patch kit error that results in an incorrectly specified patch
dependencies.
Action:
If the specific patch being blocked is
the only patch being blocked you can assume this is an informational message.
It may be an internal patch kit error, if there are other patches whose installation
is blocked by the patch whose subset is not installed.
As a workaround, if
you need one of the other patches whose installation is blocked, you can install
the optional DIGITAL UNIX, ASE, or TCR release subset and reinstall the
patches

314.00; the patch delivers files that were not shipped with the initial release
of DIGITAL UNIX 4.0D.
