error installing ANY patch on Solaris 10 1

[JazzGeek]

Hi All

Every time I try to install patches by using the patchadd command, it will not install, but instead gives these errors:

the system. Changes for package SUNWdrr will not be applied to the system.
Package SUNWefc from directory SUNWefc.u in patch 118833-36 is not installed on the system. Changes for package SUNWefc will not be applied to the system.

Package SUNWidn from directory SUNWidn.u in patch 118833-36 is not installed on the system. Changes for package SUNWidn will not be applied to the system.

The following requested patches will not be installed because
no patches required by the patch are installed on this system.

0 For patch 118833-36, required patch 119578-30 does not exist.

It appears that the patchadd command cannot find some file it needs to check the patches on the system. Or perhaps I'm wrong.

I'm running "Solaris 10 6/06 s10s_u2wos_09a SPARC"

Thank you for your help!

very interesting!! I'll have to do some research on how to create an install image.

I'm assuming i create an install image using lucreate and that will create a folder system with the U4 image?

thanks a lot for the great tips!
