    Problem Symptoms    
    The prd_software backup includes the following command: 
    grep -v '^exlibris\/' prd_software_a4_Detail_141115_0400.log 

    which produces the following errors in the log: 

    "Begin prd_software backup of aleph22 at Sat Nov 15 04:00:02 EST 2014

    Defect Status    
    The problem is fixed in Aleph version 23 (rep_ver #20070).
       
    Workaround    
    The /exlibris/aleph/a22_1/alephe/ was renamed (by Upgrade Express) to exlibris/aleph/a22_1/alephe.orig/, so /exlibris/aleph/a22_1/alephe/ no longer exists, and the file is now /exlibris/aleph/a22_1/alephe.orig/www_f_eng/exlibris.css. 

    Thus, the link in /exlibris/aleph/a22_1/alephe.orig/apache/htdocs/ needs to be corrected from: 

    exlibris.css -> /exlibris/aleph/a22_1/alephe/www_f_eng/exlibris.css 

    to: 

    exlibris.css -> /exlibris/aleph/a22_1/alephe.orig/www_f_eng/exlibris.css . 

    In regard to the course.css, the www_r_eng has been obsolete since v19 when Course Reserves was switched from the Web to the GUI. 

    Thus, the course.css file/links in 

    /exlibris/aleph/a22_1/alephe.orig/apache/htdocs and in 
    /exlibris/aleph/u22_1/alephe/apache/htdocs 

    can and should be deleted.
