patchadd fails to apply a patch
Hello,
I'm trying to apply the patch on Solaris 9 :

Code:
$/jac/update$  patchadd ./112945-46
Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
112945-46 are not installed on this system.

Patchadd is terminating.

The error message is not really talkative so I had a look and the patchadd script and it looks like it checks if any of the softwares that need to be patched are installed. If none of them is installed, it prints this error.

The packages patched by the patch are:

Code:
SUNWdclnt
SUNWlvma
SUNWmc
SUNWmcc
SUNWmccom
SUNWmga
SUNWpmgr
SUNWwbapi
SUNWwbcor
SUNWwbcou
SUNWwbdev
SUNWwbmc
SUNWwbpro

Non of them is installed in my system. The problem is that I need this patch to be installed cos it is a dependency for Sun Update Manager

... what shall I do ?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Tex

you have to install the mentioned packages...

Code:
#pkginfo | grep -i wbem
system      SUNWdmgtr                        Solaris Data Management WBEM/CIM API (root)
system      SUNWdmgtu                        Solaris Data Management WBEM/CIM API (Usr)

system      SUNWrmwbr                        Resource Management WBEM Instrumentation (root)
system      SUNWrmwbu                        Resource Management WBEM Instrumentation (usr)
application SUNWwbapi                        WBEM API
system      SUNWwbcor                        WBEM Services (root)
system      SUNWwbcou                        WBEM Services (usr)
application SUNWwbdev                        Sun WBEM SDK

system      SUNWwbpro                        WBEM Providers (usr)

Ok, how can I install SUN packaged ? I've been using only packages from blastwave so far ...

the packages are on the install media. use "pkgadd -d packagename" to install them.

Hi,
I copied the SUNWmc directory from the Solaris Software CD to the harddisk and then run:

Code:
root$ ls -l
total 2
drwxr-xr-x   5 root     other        512 Apr 10 15:20 SUNWmc

root$ pkgadd -d SUNWmc
pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </root/jac/SUN/SUNWmc>

EDIT:

Code:
root$ pkgadd -d .

works better Smilie

Is there a way to deal with the dependencies .. i.e. that pkgadd install automatically the dependecies if they are available ?

ok I solved the 112945-46 problem by installing the SUNWmccom package but now ...

I have the same issue with the 126982-01 patch

Code:
Installing patch 126982-01

Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
126982-01 are not installed on this system.

Patchadd is terminating.
Installing 126982-01 failed. Exiting

so do I have to look again the package this patch is supposed to patch and install it ... ???

It's not really a smart way to install the Update Manager ... Smilie
