Description
I would expect update_seg to prepend entries to Installations.info, or perhaps sort them in reverse chronological order. I installed MCR10067 today and got this at the front of my Installations.info:

MCR10066: Change multiple-entry info seg to treat .errata.info names as General
Information segs (MR12.6g-0031).

A workaround for this problem is to manually add the following header to start of your Installations.info file:
This line must appear exactly at top of Installations.info file, and must be followed by one blank line.
Each new entry will be added after this header, and before already existing entries. When the above header does not begin the file, then each new entry is added after the first blank line (NLNL sequence) in the file. Each new entry with two blank lines (the help paragraph separator).
