Patches for Enterprise (10.7.1 Linux) Don't Show as Installed

Question

Has anyone had the following problem?

* You run ./patchnotification and it shows several available patches. 
* You run ./patchnotification -i all to install all of the patches.
* All the patches show as successfully installed.
* You re-run ./patchnotification and it shows that none of the patches are installed.

I've restarted the boxes for the enterprise component, and it does not change the result.

We recently upgraded to Enterprise 10.9.1.  We are still experiencing the same issue with the patchnotification tool.  We are on RHEL 7.9.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thank you for your reply Harrold.  This is very helpful... albeit unfortunate.

Is there any way to know if the patches were installed, but the patchnotification tool is not picking that up?  Or does this imply that the patches are NOT installing at all?

Also, is there a way to read BUG-000131530 details somewhere?  A cursory Internet search does not provide any results.

Looks like you are running into a known defect: BUG-000131530: Unable to install patches or list installed patches for Portal for ArcGIS and/or ArcGIS Data Store using the patchnotification utility on a Linux deployment. (fixed at 10.8.1).
