Failed to install a patch. 120445-01
I just started using "smpatch". Very cool. However, I have a single patch that keeps on popping up which won't install under any circumstance. Is there any way to disable this patch or get it to install?
I'm installing on a V440 with Solaris 9. Here's the error I'm getting:

Just out of curiosity, can you do a pkginfo -l on the following two packages -
TSBWvplr
TSBWvplu
Both shouldnt be installed of course but i'm wondering if this patch is being flagged as suitable for your system because of some package db issue.
Also, reviewing previous cases, I've found one from a customer that also had this problem but reported that after they removed another unspecified patch it went away. I know thats not much to go on but perhaps you can review logs to see when this patch first failed and verify the patches installed just previous to that?

Hello,
Investigation of another case where the customer was experiencuing the same error determined that this is a result of a prohibitted patch policy within the patch itself.
Patch 120445-01 is a platform patch that requires a legal lincense for the platform. The prohibited policy is due to the legal license within the patch.
When you run smpatch this detects the policy within the patch and prevents it from being installed.
A change request "RFE#6324901" has been raised to create an option for excluding patches to smpatch binary.
Regards,
