Symptoms:
	PHCO_27780:
	( SR:8606218505 CR:JAGad87654)
	check_patches identifies patch filesets that do not match
	the current systems architecture as missing.
	( SR:8606266501 CR:JAGae30748)
	check_patches does not recognize directories as a valid
	file type.
	( SR:8606271930 CR:JAGae36108)
	check_patches does not recognize swconfig version
	B.11.20.00.06 as containing the required fix for patch
	requisites.
	( SR:8606274823 CR:JAGae38900)
	check_patches reports missing filesets when the patch and
	ancestor do not have the same fileset tags.

	PHCO_24630:
	( SR:8606195722 CR:JAGad64926 )
	( SR:8606206277 CR:JAGad75452 )
	The cleanup, show_patches, and check_patches tools are
	not provided on HP-UX 11.11

Defect Description:
	PHCO_27780:
	( SR:8606218505 CR:JAGad87654)
	Some patches apply only to 32- or 64-bit environments in
	cases where the fileset being patched exists in both. The
	check_patches utility did not contain the logic to
	recognize that the filesets in the patch did not apply and
	reported a split-patch error.
	( SR:8606266501 CR:JAGae30748)
	check_patches does not recognize directories as a valid
	file type.
	( SR:8606271930 CR:JAGae36108)
	The version checking code for the swconfig fix-level test
	was reporting certain newer versions as older and reporting
	an error.
	( SR:8606274823 CR:JAGae38900)
	check_patches reports missing filesets when the patch and
	ancestor do not have the same fileset tags.

	PHCO_24630:
	( SR:8606195722 CR:JAGad64926 )
	( SR:8606206277 CR:JAGad75452 )
	The improvements to SD-UX in HP-UX 11.11 did not eliminate
	the need for patch tools.  The cleanup tool is used to
	commit patches while preserving a set level of rollback,
	remove HP-UX 10.X patch information from the IPD, and prune
	superseded patches from a depot. The check_patches utility
	checks for partially installed (split) patches, incorrect
	patch_state, patch attribute corruption, and objects within
	an archive library.  The show_patches tool can display the
	set of active or superseded patches on a system.

Enhancement:
	No (superseded patches contained enhancements)
	PHCO_24630:
		This patch delivers a set of tools to list, commit,
		and verify HP-UX patches.
