Installing a Linux OS Update Created From a Solaris Package Outputs Inadequate Error Messages (6230630)

The create update command allows you to create a Linux OS update from a Solaris package, even though this is not a valid procedure. If you happen to do this and then try to install the OS update on a Linux system, the Update job is accepted but it eventually fails with error messages that do not help diagnose the underlying problem.

Workaround: Make sure that the update is compatible with the installed OS. You can view a provisionable server's OS by using the show server command, and you can view the OS type for an OS update by using the show update command.
