Hi.Patch 113886-38 patches OpenGL (SUNWgldoc, SUNWgldp, SUNWglh, SUNWglrt, SUNWglrtu, SUNWglsr and SUNWglsrz). Are these packages installed?

Hello Yukun,

The reason that patch 113887-38 is failing to install is that patch 113886-38 has not been installed. As this is a dependancy patch of 113887-38, this patch will not install.

Please can you run the following commands and return the output generated:

showrev -p | grep 113886-38

find . -name 113886-38

patchadd /patch_to_patch/113886-38

Regards,

If none of the OpenGL packages listed are installed, then neither of the failed patches are required, so I woule expect them to fail. Does the rest of the patc cluster install OK?

Yup, I think we haven't install the OpenGL before, so they're not required at all. The rest patches are cinstalled ok, thanks moderator.
