There is confusion going on here. The instructions we gave you were for installing Solaris patches. However, you said you got your patches from Metalink and they are named nothing like a Solaris patch name. That makes me think you are trying to apply Oracle patches, not Solaris.
In that case, the instructions we gave you do not apply and you'll need to talk to a database administrator about how to patch Oracle.

diff2patches - Extract non-debian/ patches from .diff.gz files
SYNTAX
diff2patches filename
diff2patches --help|--version
DESCRIPTION
Extracts patches from .diff.gz which apply to files outside the "debian/" directory scope. A patch is created for each modified file.
Each patch is named according to the path of the modified file, with "/" replaced by "___", and an extension of ".patch".
OPTIONS
filename
Extract patches from filename which apply outside the "debian/" directory.
--help
Output help information and exit.
--version

FILES
debian/control
Existence of this file is tested before any patch is extracted.
debian/
debian/patches/
Patches are extracted to one of these directories. "debian/patches/" is preferred, if it exists. If DEB_PATCHES is present in the
environment, it will override this behavior (see "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" section below).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DEB_PATCHES
When defined and points to an existing directory, patches are extracted in that directory and not under "debian/" nor
"debian/patches/".
