[cobalt-users] Qube3 Updates and Patches

[Malcolm McLeary <mmcleary@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

Looking for some excitement this afternoon I decided to apply the Qube3
patches and updates to a non-production Qube3 Pro Ed.

Although only one of the patches is listed in BlueLinQ, I felt it
appropriate to install them in the order they are posted on the download
site even though the descriptions don't indicate any dependencies.

So starting at the bottom of the Qube3 download page I installed the updates
in the following order ...

Update: FTP through NAT 0.0.1                   FAILED
    Qube3-All-System-0.0.1-8737.pkg
    26,387 bytes  
    Posted: January 11, 2001

Update: DNS Fix 0.0.1                           FAILED
    Qube3-en-System-0.0.1-8644.pkg
    3,242,498 bytes
    Posted: February 2, 2001

Security: Interbase Update 0.0.1                FAILED
    Qube3-All-Security-0.0.1-9100.pkg
    53,550 bytes  
    Posted: February 2, 2001

Update: BlueLinQ 0.0.1                          installed
    Qube3-en-System-0.0.1-9375.pkg
    42,605 bytes  
    Posted: February 2, 2001

Security: BIND Update 0.0.1                     installed
    Qube3-All-Security-0.0.1-9353.pkg
    3,125,736 bytes

For the hell of it I then tried the first three again ... they all installed
fine.

So this would indicate to me that the first three depend on the 4th.  Anyone
else had the same experience?

Now my "Installed Software" lists the following additions;

BlueLinQ Patch  This package updates BlueLinQ
                functionality including ability to use
                multiple BlueLinQ servers.

Qube3Patch01    This patch fixes several DNS issues

Qube3Patch02    This patch enables FTP connections through NAT

Qube3Patch04    This patch removes a backdoor in Interbase.

Qube3Patch06    Bind-8.2.3 Update

So the 1st patch release is actually called Patch02, the 2nd patch released
is actually called Patch01, the 3rd patch released is actually called
Patch04, the 4th patch released is actually called BlueLinQ Patch and the
fifth patch released is actually called Patch06.

So what happened to Patch03 and Patch05?

The BlueLinQ Patch could be one of them, but that still leaves a gap.

Cheers,  Malcolm
