Apologies for the tardy summary. The original question was what does patchadd mean when it tells you, in effect, "the thing you're trying to install isn't installed yet?" E.g.: Patch: 113886-48 - 5 of 28 - 91981K Synopsis: OpenGL 1.3: OpenGL Patch for Solaris (32-bit) Checking installed patches... One or more patch packages included in 113886-48 are not installed on this system. In this case patchadd was telling me that one or more of the patch packages in the patch package I was trying to apply weren't installed yet. Well *duh*, that would be why I'm trying to install the patch package. Casper Dik answered first: | | The error message is wrong (it's not just confusing). | | What to means to say is this: | | NONE of the packages we try to patch are installed Which makes a heckuva lot more sense. Thanks, Casper. Thanks also to Tim Bradshaw and Anthony D'Atri for replying. Regards, Jim -- Note: My mail server employs *very* aggressive anti-spam filtering.
