Hello managers,
I have just encountered a strange problem installing PK3
for Tru64 5.1B on a set of DS10 machines which have been
freshly installed.
I untar it, then change to patch_kit/ directory and
call up dupatch like this (as root, in multiuser):
  ./dupatch -install -kit . -name root -note XYZ -patch all
It get the strange output which I have appended at the end
of this mail.
I have successfully installed this same PK3 on other machines 
(also DS10, but with larger hard disks), and never had any problems.
Any suggestions?
