Question Problems with Applying a Patch

Hi,

I tried installing a patch given on OpenBSD errata pages. I used the command given on the errata page to apply the patch

cat <name of the patch>.patch | (cd /usr/src && patch -p0)

But it prompts for a filename by giving the information " File to patch: ". When I enter the file that needs to be patched on the errata page it prompts that " No file found--skip this patch?[n]" output.

Could you help me on this please?

Since 5.5-release, or so I believe, patches have been applied in conjunction with signify(1), so I assume you're trying to patch a very old release?

Without seeing the patch you're trying to apply or knowing the release involved, it's difficult to say.

Hi Cynwulf,

Have you applied all the other patches up until now? Do the two files which that patch file relates to actually exist in your local source tree?

5.3-release supported ended in May 2014. You would be faced about 7 upgrades to get to the next supported release (6.0). It's better for you to make backups of user any modified files and clean install 6.1-release.

Can you show us what these commands print:
Code:
ls /usr/src
ls /usr/src/lib/libssl/src/ssl/

Hi cynwulf,

I haven't apply any patch until now. I have know idea whether my previous administrator applied any.


Hi e1-531g,

Please find the output of the two commands in the attached image.

Thanks

You don't have a source tree on that system. So you can't patch what isn't there.

You're not going to successfully flunk your way through administering this system using forums and google searching. Ultimately you will need to read the documentation/faqs - and you will need to install a supported release if you want a secure system: You will need to do the work.

But so far as I can tell, nothing has changed since September last year:
