Cannot install patches via Connection Manager or Update Manager

I tried installing 137 outstanding updates via Update Manager, but they all failed complaining about digital signatures not being verified.

Then i tried using the online "Connection Manager". I managed to queue the 137 jobs no problem, but then they have been stuck in a pending state all day. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

Is there any way I can just download a patch cluster like I used on all the previous versions of Solaris... it would be so much simpler. :-)

Could you post the following output:

- Version information of Sun Update Connection software packages

# showrev -p | egrep -e '119107|121118|121453|119108|121119|121454'

# pkginfo -l SUNWupdatemgru SUNWupdatemgrr | egrep 'PKGINST|VERSION'

# pkginfo -l SUNWpprou SUNWppror | egrep 'PKGINST|VERSION'

Thank you

Note, you can still download Solaris 10 recommended clusters by logging into Sunsolve with a Sun Online account which has a valid service plan associated with it.

The digital signature error is likely caused by a patch with a bad signature which is causing the whole job to fail (I presume you are simply attempting to run "smpatch update" ?).

Does the error message provide a patch number at all? Can you copy the entire error message here?
