124187-01 SunOS 5.10_x86: flash issue with SUNWscn-base due to broken packa

smpatch analyze always give me this patch to install.

It's seems link to SUNWscn-base package new in solaris 06/06

my server is a solaris 01/06 was all the patch, never heard about this package.

What is this Sun Network Connection stuff coming with solaris 06/06 ?

And what should I do with this patch ? each install return 'exit 8'.

Thanks.

If you want to install this patch you need to install packages

SUNWsam SUNWsamr SUNWcacaort SUNWscn*

Their installed by default on so10 6/6 machines but not on earlier.

Iver been installing them just so the patch will install and smpatch analyze looks cleaner.

They don't seem to do any harm :-).

Where do you get those packages to install? I would like to create the same situation and it sounds like some of those packages are valuable.

CR 6485617 has been opened to request that the metadata for the patch be corrected so that it is only recommended on platforms that have these packages to be patched.
