ABSTRACT:
A software package installed on a UNIX system V computer system is repaired by installing a System V software patch package. During installation of the patch package using the pkgadd utility and scripts in the patch package, a backout software package is constructed. This backout package will, when later installed on the computer system using pkgadd, operate to restore the software in the computer system to its original state before installation of the patch package.
