Upgrade Fails When Upgrading to the Build 37 Release (6409425)

If you are upgrading the Solaris OS to the build 37 release, the upgrade fails. This failure occurs when you upgrade with any of the Solaris installation programs, including upgrading a new boot environment with Solaris Live Upgrade. The error occurs because of a problem in the libspmisvc.so.1 library.

The following error message is displayed:

ERROR: Installation of the packages from this media of the media
   failed; pfinstall returned these diagnostics:

   ERROR: The upgrade script terminated abnormally

Workaround:

To eliminate this problem, replace the build 37 libspmisvc.so.1 library with the build 36 library. You can find the libspmisvc.so.1 library in the following media directory:

<DVD/CD-Image>/Solaris_11/Tools/Boot/usr/snadm/lib/libspmisvc.so.1
