Yes !

Patch: Patch number-Revision
Obsoletes: With this patch the patchs on this list gets obsolete (no more required in future).
Requires: the patchs on this list must be installed first.
Incompatibles: the patchs on this list must NOT be installed (cannot coexist with this one).
Packages: package names that this patch will change files.

also if you need extra information of a file, eg: like the command "newfs" bellongs to which package ? as first installed with which persmissions ? and owner ?

you can check "/var/sadm/install/contents" and search "newfs".


Hope it helps,

Carlos Almeida.

The patchs listed with patchadd -p are in fact installed,
"patchadd -p or showrev -p", displays a list of the patches currently applied, from your example, eg:

Patch: 107546-02 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWxwpsr

Patch id 107546 revision 02 is installed, and applies to SUNWxwpsr Package (OpenWindows), no obsolete any patch id,no require any other patch first installed, and have no imcompatible patchs.
