Problem with manual 3.1.5e to 3.1.5f upgrade

[dengland]

In the vein of a little knowledge is dangerous ....

Since I had cleaned most of what I needed off my primary HR10-250, I figured it was time to manually go to the 3.1.5f version to stop the reboots. I thought I knew what I was doing since I had gone to 6.2 on a couple of SD DTivos from 4.x. I followed what I did on the two SD units a little to blindly. I added $name to the updateroot call. The updateroot on 3.1.5e did NOT want a 4th argument so UpdateSw.itcl exited and left /SwSystem/ACTIVE pointing at 3.1.5f.

I am proceeding a little slower now because I don't want to make anything worse. My 1st thought is to change I see some old references (2003 or so) to a dbset.tcl. I am about to look closer at the installSw.itcl and updateroot to see if they use the /SwSystem/ACTIVE for anything other than the FSafe check.

Has anybody been down this road before? If not, I guess it is time to learn to fish!

Thanks

Read through the script and see if you can just 'continue' from where you left off (updateroot blah blah blah). It might be willing to finish on it's own.

Thanks EW. I checked both updateroot and installSw.itcl and did not see any dependency other than the version checking to make sure that the upgrade did not go backwards (or stay the same). Changing a little logic in installSw.itcl allowed the script to run. I believe all is well. Thanks again.
