10 Recommended Patch Not Working
Hello,
The 10_Recommended update failed on 3 of 191, which was patch 119254-73 (the 1st 2 patches were skipped). I looked up the patch on Sunsolve (
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-119254), which stated that 121133-02 was a required patch for 119254-73. I did a "showrev -p | grep 121133" and found that 121133 has been obsoleted by 120011-14. So it looks like I have what is required to install the patch. Oddly enough, patch 119254-73 deals w/ patching the system.
Several logs were created and the common error message is that "Patch 119254-73 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd"
Another error message was:
"This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and version of a package that is already installed. The installation will attempt to overwrite this package. ... Cannot open pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully".
I'm certainly not a Solaris expert, so I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

truncate
TRUNCATE(1) User Commands TRUNCATE(1)
NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size
SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size
A FILE argument that does not exist is created.
If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole)
reads as zero bytes.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-c, --no-create
do not create any files
-o, --io-blocks
treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes
-r, --reference=RFILE
base size on RFILE
-s, --size=SIZE
set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow-
ers of 1000).
SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round
down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of.
