Greetings All-
I ran into this problem today and was curious if anyone else had seen it.
I am attempting to add patch 137402-02 on a v890 running Sol9.
Here's the error I get:
#> patchadd 137402-02
Checking installed patches...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Patch 137402-02 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/137402-02/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.
Checking the specified log file I get:
# cat /var/sadm/patch/137402-02/log
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.
/export/home/hed0431/137402-02/SUNWsadmi/install/checkinstall: /export/home/hed0 431/137402-02/SUNWsadmi/install/checkinstall: cannot open
pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.
The special instructions for this patch require taking the system to Single user mode:
# who -r

Has anyone seen this before? Anyone? Bueller?
