What were you trying to do?
Figure out why it is that every time I take an update on my
sun, I get an error to the effect of "cp: cannot access: /srvd/\"
partway through the update.
What's wrong:
The update should not print errormessages unless there is a
real problem
What should have happened:
The update shouldn't have tried to cp something it couldn't access.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I think I may have found the cause of this bug.
I suspect (although I have no good way of testing it) that the
bug will go away if you remove the trailing whitespace on
lines 99 and 107 of /srvd/usr/athena/lib/update/do_update.
