When installing any component, if the installation
fails, HP SUM displays Update returned an
error
message. To determine the installation failure, review
the associated component log.
However, when installing RPMs using HP SUM you might see this error when the RPMs for more than one Linux distribution are present in a single repository and a SPP bundle from the Select Bundle screen is not selected.
In this scenario, when multiple versions of source
RPMs exist, the RPMs that are not the latest are not installed and Update not needed
or Not
Updated-already current
messages are returned. HP SUM cannot
determine which source RPMs go with which distribution because the
RPMs do not contain any operating system information.
To resolve this issue, ensure that you select the bundle for the operating system distribution on the Select Bundle screen for installation or remove the RPMs from the directory that are not applicable to the Linux distribution you are using.
