I don't know if this the right place to post this.
My issue is this, I'm trying to add this patch to upgrade my java on my Solaris server. I'mtrying to update to java 1.5.0_34 from java 1.5.0_32.
patchadd ./118666-36
I get this error:
Patch 118666-36 failed to install due to failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/118666-36/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.
cat /var/sadm/patch/118666-36/log
Package not patched:
PKG=SUNWj5dmo
Original package not installed.

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.

I found the answer. I was trying to install this patch from a share and for some reason, even thought I was root, It was not working. I copied the patch to /tmp, ran it and now it works. I don't know whey It worked on some servers and not others.
