SUMMARY: Tru64 5.1B Patch Kit 5 installation fails

Many people gave several useful answers:

1. Run the dupatch the "Patch Baseline Analysis/Adjustment" option.
2. Read the patch kit release notes:  Indeed this particular problem
    and a procedure is explained in the notes.
3. Remove the Insight Manager software CPQIM330 before installing
    the patch kit, since it conflicts with the file /sbin/init.d/snmpd.

I chose option 3, it being the simplest method requiring no
fudging with backup of files etc.  After the patch kit had
been installed, I reinstalled the Insight Manager kit.

Thanks to everyone for their help,
Ole Holm Nielsen
