Ensure "bc" is installed on the IDM server. Once installed the patch upgrade should work as expected.

Most linux distributions come pre-included with the bc utility which is a basic calculator utility. This utility is very helpful while evaluating complex calculations in bash scripts. The patch install script makes use of this utility and hence it is required to have the bc rpm present on the IDM server where the patch is being applied.
