Hello!
When I try to install an update on my system, the following happens:
# smpatch update -i 119116-22
Update 119116-22 will not be downloaded since it already exists in the download directory.

It appears that your patch might be corrupted, could you try downloading a fresh copy from sunsolve and verify that the sum command returns the following:
$ sum 119116-22.jar

I downloaded the patch from the page you mentioned, but the md5sum is equal to the file in /var/sadm/spool
md5sum 119116-22.jar
f55c3292bba784320dff5d32db5d994d 119116-22.jar
The output of sum remains the same. What is wrong here?

The problem persits:
# patchadd -M /root/119116/

That's a common issue. Remove the ".save.SUNWhea" file or directory
in /var/sadm/pkg, and try again.
Sun's patch tools (e.g. patchadd) get confused when /var/sadm/pkg
contains anything (file or directory) which is not a valid package
information directory.
At Sun: Could you please fix this? A simple example to reproduce
the issue:
# touch /var/sadm/pkg/core
# patchadd -p
Cannot open pkginfo file //var/sadm/pkg/core/pkginfo
No patches installed

This directory did not exist in the global zone, but I found it in a non-global zone. After deleting it, all patches installed normaly.
But I think the error-message is weird in two ways: "Cannot open" seems like it searches for a directory which should be there. And the path was relative to the zone-root.
Thank you!
