When I try to install an STM patch, why does the checkinstall script fail?

Patches PHSS_17884, PHSS_17885, PHSS_17886, PHSS_17887 and PHSS_17888 contain the entire diagnostic system, rather than just changes to the diagnostics already loaded on your system. These patches are the same as patches PHSS_14401 – PHSS_14406, but with a script file in the patch depot which verifies that you are not backdating your diagnostics by loading these patches on top of a more recent version. If, however, the diagnostics that are on your system are very old (STM version A.03.00 and earlier,) or if there is not a version of STM loaded on your system, then the patch cannot determine the revision of the existing diagnostics and concludes that it should not be loaded. The checkinstall script will fail, and the /var/adm/sw/swagent.
