Patching help
I just installed Solaris 10 1/06 GA on a new PC. I ran Update Manager and it applied a bunch of patches. It still shows four patches in my "Available Updates" tab. Three of these it says will be installed at the next restart but they never are. I reboot and they're still in the "Available Updates" list. The fourth is a kernel patch, 118844-28. This says I need to install it manually.
If I go to the directory where the patch was downloaded, /var/sadm/spool and type 'patchadd 118844-28,' I get:
<div class="pre"><pre>Validating patches...
Loading patches installed on the system...
Done!
Loading patches requested to install.
Cannot locate 118844-28 to install.</pre></div>
OK. If I try 'patchadd ./118844-28.jar' I get:
<div class="pre"><pre>Validating patches...
Loading patches installed on the system...
Done!

What am I doing wrong? Why won't the first three patches (119716-10, 119375-13, 113000-07) install when I reboot and why won't patchadd install 118844-28?
Thanks.
