Conflict

When different components need different dependent components and these dependencies cannot exist on the same system together (for example, two different packages need two different versions of the same library), there is a conflict. Sun Update Connection – Enterprise solves such conflicts by finding a version of the dependent components that works for both base components.

Dependency

Most Linux and Solaris components depend upon the prior installation of existing libraries or other packages to operate in known system configurations. These other components are dependent components, or dependencies.

Predefined Profile

Set of compliance mappings provided with Sun Update Connection – Enterprise that performs a full-system check and fix, a remote restart, or a remote restart with reconfiguration.
