"unpack-patches" only runs after an "setup-standard.sh" from EIS-DVD. also won't this command install signed patches (afaik).
his problem wasn't the installation of the patch. the application he tried to patch is not installed...

yes I wanted to check if the EIS dvd has been used.

but about the application, sometimes when i add a patch for a package that's not there, some error code return (error code 8), but the message he got is different.

how can we know if the application we're trying to patch is not there ?

i recommend a knew solaris installation. use the install cluster "sunwcxall" and after that download and install the latest patchcluster. don't forget to choose all needed languages during installation.
