Resolving Conflicts

Resolving Conflicts

Installation conflicts occur when there are unsatisfied product dependencies or when incompatible product are selected for installation. If Inst detects conflicts when the user enters the go command, the conflicts must be resolved before the installation is carried out. See "Step 6: Resolving Conflicts and Other Errors" for more information on the procedures used to resolve conflicts.

The error you see when a conflict has been detected is:

Inst> go
ERROR : Conflicts must be resolved.
(conflict description and options)

This section is divided into the following subsections:

"Resolving Different Types of Conflicts"
"Overriding Conflicts"

Note: The 10-digit number that appears in the conflict message is the product's version number. You can use the showprods -n command to display product version numbers.
