Robert's the expert on the 'mib2c-update' script.
I've never used it myself (and wouldn't trust a
computer to do my thinking for me!)

But a quick look at the script source seems to indicate
that it uses a particular hidden file to indicate when there's
been a problem.

The run that fails to merge the changes successfully should
issue an error, telling you which file needs attention.
It also leaves behind this hidden file, as a signal for the
next run of the script.

When you run the update script a second time (presumably
having fixed whatever failed first time around), it detects
this hidden file, and asks you what you want to do.

If you've tweaked the code to address the original conflict,
but haven't tried to merge in the changes, then choose "re-run".
If you *have* merged in any changes from the mib2c template,
then choose "copy".
(As far as I can tell, if you choose "quit", it will simply ask
you the same things all over again!)


But Robert is the expert here.
