Issue patching, can't find resolution

I'm trying to install the latest patch cluster on a server running 05/08 (it's a Sunfire v240). When installing, the patch cluster dies at patch 138195-04. Looking at the failure log, here is what it says:

Code:
baspeans01:/home/10_Recommended# more /var/tmp/138195-04.log.16544

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed.  This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.

Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.

Installation of <SUNWservicetagr> was successful.

ERROR: attribute verification of </usr/bin/stclient> failed
    owner name <svctag> not found in passwd table(s)

Installation of <SUNWservicetagu> partially failed.

This kills the patch cluster. I'm not sure how to proceed, and can't find any information. The only help I've found via google is a bug report, and there's no comments; it says its a duplicate. When you click the duplicate link, it's been removed from the oracle site. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

If I am unable to get this installed using the patch cluster, is it possible to just use live upgrade off of the latest DVD? Will it cause any issues?

Just remove it from patch_order so you can finish patching.
After that, you can check if the patch is actually installed, or attempt to install it by itself.

Worked like a bell. Thank you so much for helping me with my newbie questions; I'm quickly learning there's a world of difference between linux and solaris Smilie
