So we have yet another meta-data problem with a patch. This joins the three other inapplicable patches that updatemanager wants to apply to my system.
But when I run smpatch update both flavors of the patch fail mysteriously:
Failed to install patch 124615-01.
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 8.
Checking installed patches...Patchadd is terminating.
Transition old-style patching.

Now if I try to add the patch manually:
> smpatch add -i 124614-01
add patch 124614-01
Transition old-style patching.
it reports no errors but does nothing and the patch is not installed. Is there supposed to be a log file somewhere?
Finally switching to the patch directory and using patachadd directly I see the true problem:
The following requested patches have packages not installed on the system
Package SUNWscn-base from directory SUNWscn-base in patch 124614-01 is not installed on the system. Changesforpackage SUNWscn-base will not be applied to the system.
It's the scn-base package not installed problem again.
These meta-data glitches in the patches should be the highest priority to get fixed - it should take a couple of days to correct and redeploy them.
