10) A "BAD MAGIC" error message is received during the relinking stage of ADPATC

H.
This error is normally caused by running the wrong platform patch (i.e. An H
P-UX patch is run on a SUN platform).
11) Which patches can be backed out and is there a problem in doing this?

Database drivers 'db' CANNOT be backed out without a system backup. The patc
h.drv portion of the patch MAY be backed out by reversing its steps. However, i
t is strongly recommended that you contact Oracle Worldwide Support before doing
so.
Caution
-------
There is no utility that is available to reverse the installation of a patch. Th
erefore, we recommend that a full system backup is performed prior to the instal
lation of any patch.
