UNIX patches with incompatible packages

I have a Sun Sparc machine with Solaris 9 on it as oracle server. We added two patches (112233-11: SunOS 5.9:Kernel Patch and 111722-04: SunOS 5.9:MathLibrary(libm)patch). When I prepared the server for Oracle installation, I checked patch with command: $/usr/sbin/patchadd -p | grep <patch_number>. Then UNIX told me that these two patches have incompatible packages. 112233 got 12 incompatible packages and 111722 got 3 incompatible patches. My question is: does this incompatible packages affect Solaris 9 operation on the Sparc machine? How serious will it be? Thanks.

STG-SINK(1)							   StGit Manual 						       STG-SINK(1)

NAME
stg-sink - Send patches deeper down the stack SYNOPSIS
stg sink [-t <target patch>] [-n] [<patches>] DESCRIPTION
This is the opposite operation of linkstg:float[]: move the specified patches down the stack. It is for example useful to group stable patches near the bottom of the stack, where they are less likely to be impacted by the push of another patch, and from where they can be more easily committed or pushed. If no patch is specified on command-line, the current patch gets sunk. By default patches are sunk to the bottom of the stack, but the --to option allows to place them under any applied patch. Sinking internally involves popping all patches (or all patches including <target patch>), then pushing the patches to sink, and then (unless --nopush is also given) pushing back into place the formerly-applied patches. OPTIONS
-n, --nopush Do not push back on the stack the formerly-applied patches. Only the patches to sink are pushed. -t TARGET, --to TARGET Specify a target patch to place the patches below, instead of sinking them to the bottom of the stack. -k, --keep Keep the local changes. STGIT
