Verification issues

These are the known verification issues that you may encounter when verifying your installation with this update:

  • New: Some files in Connectivity - PCI Utils (Build 7.0.21) are incompatible with this QNX SDP 7.0 OS services - OS services base (7.0.0.SGA201702151847) package because of a packaging error. (Ref# J2534523, J2789982, J2897868, J2807479)

    The version of each of the following files:
    • rsrcdb_query
    • rsrcdb_query.sym
    will result in verification issues if you have QNX SDP 7.0Connectivity - PCI Utils (7.0 BuildID 21) already in your installation.

    1. From QNX Software Center, select your Updates or Available tab.
