Recommended patch 120445-01 will not install with Sol. 9 (09/2005)

Patch 120445-01 will not apply to a Solaris 9 (09/2005) setup. The hardware is an Ultra-80.Although it is recommended, it fails with the "patchadd" message:

Checking installed patches...

One or more patch packages included in 120445-01 are not installed on this system.

The host was installed from scratch and the "smpatch" was run until it had no more patches to apply except this one.

For us, this patch is only an annoyance. When I cursorily read the description, I doubt that these features exists on this hardware.

I had to install the packages:

TSBWvplr.u

TSBWvplu.u

from the DVD media. I could not find these packages from the CD media that I used. I had to use another machine to extract the packages.

I saw another post where it mentioned that patch 120445-01 would not apply. I suspect that the package install of it already has this patch.
