UTM 9.7 with Update Confusion V9.702-1 is installed but is shown for update, available firmware is 9.701-6

Hallo Gernot,

Yeah, that's not supposed to happen!

What does the version command show you?  If it confirms that the 9.702 Up2Date was successfully applied, then you could just rm /var/up2date/sys/* to get rid of that unwanted file.  Then, just to clean things up, cd /var/up2date/sys and then /sbin/auisys.plx --showdesc

Of course, if you have Sophos Support, they should do this for you.

I am having the exact same problem.  But I'm not sure in my case 9.701-6 was installed.  When I went to up2date, only two patches were available, 9.701-6 and 9.702-1.  However, I think only one patch was installed.

Need to verify if it was really installed or not.

That's what the version command will tell you, Tom.  If fact, all Up2Dates are incremental, so the 9.702 Up2Date would not have been installed unless 9.701 was already installed.

Cheers - Bob

Hi Bob-

It does show the current version 9.702-1, but does not necessarily show that 9.701.-6 was installed?

There were some issues with 9.700 and 9.701, so the developers created a 9.606-to-9.702 Up2Date that your system used.  If some of the intermediate Up2Dates were automatically downloaded, they were deleted automatically when you got the 9.606-to-9.702 Up2Date.  Apparently, the script didn't remove the 9.701 Up2Date.  You can get a case opened with Support and they'll delete that for you.

If a user without support (like a home user) sees this problem, do the following as root at the command line:

cd /var/up2date/sys
rm *701*
/sbin/auisys.plx --rpmargs --force
cd /home

That looks like it worked, thank you for the info.
