Operating Systems Solaris How to create a Solaris patch package

Old 09-15-2009
If i create a new package version, how do i upgrade the older version.

I am not aware of any upgrade package command on solaris similar to "rpm -U" on linux.

"rpm -U" is equivalent to "pkgrm/pkgadd" if a new version is available and do nothing otherwise.
There is no equivalent to Solaris patches with rpm or similar.

Yes,
So consider I create a new version of the package.
While issuing a pkgadd command, system issues a warning that an instance of the same package exits.

How do i get around with this?

As already I wrote, start with removing the older instance with pkgrm.
