Upgrading IRIX 6.5 using swmgr
#4
RE: Upgrading IRIX 6.5 using swmgr
It updates "inst" and "swmgr" to support the latest IRIX package version introduced in IRIX 6.5.21.

Without that patch, the older "inst" program on your pre-6.5.21 system can't read, unpack or install the newer overlays, thereby failing the upgrade
