Laurent, If 125077 is obsoleted by 120011-09 and 120011-09 is not installed, then at the end, the original 119757 is not finally installed. Right?
As I understood from Paul's reply, he'll make a fix for this situation which brings me to the following question: Having not much experience with patching solaris boxes, I hope this kind of / strange/uncontrolled situations where you have to handle as exceptions are not common ones. Are t they? Thanks again for your help.

Something â la RPM with the > --no-dependencies option. I suggest using the -r option to have that quick access to the README. We all missed some useful information there at times, me not the least :-) ./pca -r 119757-12 At the top, there is that explanation: Patches required with this patch: 119042-09 119254-51 121901-01 125077-02 (or greater) NOTE: None of the 125077 patches were released; they are obsoleted by 120011-09 (and greater). So you won't get 125077, ever, and you don't need it, because the dependency will be fulfilled by 120011-09. As a sidenote, it would be a very bad idea to force installing a patch without respecting the dependencies, it would be a sure way to get into trouble.
