CLI Installer Patch Released

Release Date: Feb. 5, 2016

 

Patch Description

An error has been found in the install and update commands of the 2.4 rev1 and rev2 CLI Update Manager.  When you try to install other packages or update installed packages, the Update Manager fails to install or update and displays the java.lang.NullPointerException error.  To solve this problem, use the CLI Update Manager patch files. 

Before applying this patch, make sure that the installed CLI Update Manager is 2.4 rev1 or rev2 (its internal version is 0.0.110 or 0.0.111; check the internal version using the show-info option).  The patch can only be applied to those versions   

If you are using other versions of the CLI Update Manager, ignore this patch.  However, note that you have to apply this patch if you go back to 2.4 rev1 or rev2 from rev3 or future versions.

After the application of this patch, the CLI Update Manager works equivalently to rev3 CLI Update Manager.  If the installed CLI Update Manager is 2.4 rev1 or rev2, download the patch at the download location and apply it as follows:
