When you specify the patch directory on the smpatch add command line by using the -d option, the following error appears:
Error: PatchPro failed: CRITICAL: Invalid patch source directory. Problem Summary: (1) Patch source directory does not exist. Verify that the patch source directory exists or set the patch source directory to an existing directory with pprosetup -d <download_directory> |
Do not use the -d option with any of the smpatch subcommands to specify a patch directory.
