ok, what did Sun break now? (hello... have you heard of QA?)

smpatch analyze shows a few patches and no details on a system that was working fine and has had no new patches applied since last good smpatch analyze.

This occurs on Solaris 10 both sparc and x64

Solaris 8/9 don't seem affected by this.

#

running patchdiag shows more than 50 patches needing to be applied.

Does Sun want us to use this product or what?

needs to be reliable, not flaky every other month.

The patch info system suffered a network outage and was delivering a truncated data set. Friday it was corrected and all should be working. Sun is setting up the necessary safegaurds to prevent this issue in the future.
