PQ63598: WEBSPHERE FIXPAK 3.5.6 REMOVES SELECTED GSKIT FILES


APAR

APAR status
Closed as duplicate of another apar.

Error description
After installing fixpak 3.5.6, the customer is unable to serve
SSL enabled requests. After carefull analysis, it is determined
the mod_ibm_ssl_128.so file is missing.
Local fix
Based on analysis by development, the use of the -g flag with
installp when uninstalling the base GSKit, causes prerequisite
installp images to be removed and not replaced during the
fixpak installation.  The prerequisites are in error and can
be reinstalled manually using installp.
It may also be possible to remove the prerequisites using
installp or odm commands prior to installing fixpak 6, but
this is still being researched.
Problem summary
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
The root cause is the same as PQ62341
The installp -u -g gskit.rte line introduced in 3.5.6
by PQ55885 to
install.sh for AIX causes the ssl files to be removed.

The requisite filesets that are removed are:
http_server.ssl.128
http_server.ssl.core

  this includes sidd files as well as library files for ssl

Working with the gskit/ssl dev to provide the best solution.
