Can I Install Solaris 10 patches on Solaris9?

hi,

please, can anybody tell me what would happen if i install the following Solaris 10 SPARC patch to my Solaris 9 SPARC sunblade 100?

http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=120460

the reason i would like to install this patch is to fix the bug that i reported here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177949

it looks like the more recent versions of gtk and pango that are bundled in the solaris 10 patch might resolve the issue i encounter with the current version of gtk and pango on my solaris 9 setup.

thanks in advance for your help.

No, the patch was created on top of Solaris 10 packages. The patchadd utility requires that the VERSION strings match between the installed package's pkginfo file and the pkginfo files inside the patch. Unless the base package did not change between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10, the patch will not get applied because of the VERSION mismatch. But it is very unlikely that the packages did not change between the two releases.

Even if you were to be able to install it, there could be dependencies that the patch's binaries have on other Solaris 10 binaries.
