on jan 25 117461-04 was installed via 'smpatch update' and it seems to have removed the pkginfo file for the package SUNWcslr. Now, when I try and add patches I get:
root@vcs02:[spool]$ smpatch add -i 121693-02
add patch 121693-02
Cannot open pkginfo file /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcslr/pkginfo

and many new patches are failing..
Checking into patch 117461-04 shows that it was withdrawn because opf Sun Alert #101995 -
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-101995-1
I believe the correct revision should have been 117461-08. Did you download and install patch 117461-04 manually or was it offered to you as an available patch when running 'smpatch analyze' ?
I hate to wake up such an old thread, but we seem to be seeing the same issue with 118833-24 -- the file /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcslr/pkginfo was there before patching and is gone afterwards.
So far this doesn't seem to affect our 06/2006 release systems, just 01/2006 (we have some 03/2005 but we haven't tried putting this patch on any of them). I've got a case with Sun open but if anyone has thoughts on this (or more data for the case) I'd love to hear them!
In our case we're seeing this in the patch log:
Installation of <SUNWcslr> was successful.
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.
Installation of <SUNWcsr> was successful.

We were able to put a new version of /lib/libsec.so.1 in place which fixed the problems with "cp" (and chmod, etc.) but the system still sort of thinks it has 118833-24 installed and sort of thinks it doesn't...
