Hello,  
In order to remove a patch, I type following command;  
#  
#patchrm 119314-11

and following error message shown on the screen, the patch can not be removed:

Cannot find teh backout packages for 119314-11  
119314-11 cannot ve backed out.

Patchrm is terminating.  
WARNING: patchrm returned \<4\>  
#  
#  
-------  
I try also Sun Update Manager to remove the patch. The name of the patch is shown under "installed updates" tab but when I select it , the uninstall button can not be activated.

How can I remove this patch?

Thank You
