It sounds like a dependency problem, although it shouldn't be as 120744-02 does not have any stated dependencies. Do you have the package SUNWmcon installed and its latest patch 121211-02? Have you tried applying the patch from /tmp? If you have, then please post the output from the commands below to show the exact message

# pkginfo -l SUNWmcon

# showrev -p | egrep '121211|120744'

# mv /path/to/120744-02.zip /tmp

# cd /tmp

# patchadd 120744-02

It looks like your trying to install a patch that could be included as a base part of the OS release you already have (hence the empty shopwrev output). You can compare the pkginfo file(s) from within the patch itself with the output you got when running pkginfo on the system itself and verify that what you have installed is already equal to or higher than what the patch can provide.

Also, this forum is for issue with the Sun Update Connection, Patch Manager, and PatchPro software specifically and not for general patching and OS related questions. As such you may find a better audiance for this issue in the "Solaris 10" forum.
