patchadd -p

[joephilip]

In preparation to upgrade my Solaris 7 environment to Solaris 8 02/04 (using Live upgrade), I am checking the patches currently on my Solaris system. I did:
/usr/sbin/patchadd -p

I thought it will bring all the patches installed on my system. However, it brought a big list which only shows obsoletes and incompatibles. I have difficulty understanding the output, a part of it is given below:

[bluedragon2]

The list shows the patch number, which if any patches this patch obsoletes, what if any patches this patch requires, which if any patches that are incompatible to that patch, and the actual patch.

so:

Patch: 106934-03 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWdtbas

Is patch number 106934-03. It does not obsolete any patches, does not require any other patches, is not incompatible with any other patch, and is part of the package SUNWdtbas
