Solaris 8 patch installation problems
hi
I'm having problems trying to install the latest Solaris 8 Recommended patches cluster. When I run the install_cluster script I get lots of errors with error code 5 which apparently refers to pkgadd failure. Patch installation also fails when I try to install individual patches from the cluster.
I'm a bit of a novice with Solaris administration so I'd appreciate any help with analyzing and fixing the issue.
Here's a sample output:
Checking installed patches...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Patch 109091-08 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/109091-08/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.
Here's what the patch installation log says:
riesling# less /var/sadm/patch/109091-08/log
This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.

pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.
