I applied patch ESX-6856573.tgz and server hung and when I do a esxupdate query it is not listed. Running "esxupdate update" again from the directory is only telling me to use --force but it is not working. What am I missing to do?

set the verbosity level (-v) to get more info. There may be a conflicting package. If that's the case, you can use the -x option to skip this package during the update.
you should not use '-f'/'--f' to force installation of patches -- if it fails with the 'use -f and try again' message - it is likely that you are installing patches in random order....check /var/log/vmware/esxupdate.log to see what rpm package it is trying to downgrade, and use 'esxupdate -x update' to install the patch...see KB 10230 for more information...
