Is this on the os2008.11 machine? Can you show me output of "showrev

That's weird. AFAIK previous versions of OS at least had patchadd, to
install old style patches for unbundled software. Can anybody else
with a OS 2009.06 system confirm that patchadd has gone?
DOM: I was speaking with a colleague who is more familiar with
OpenSolaris than I am and he told me that patchadd is no longer shipped
as part of the core OpenSolaris distro, but you can get it onto your
system by installing the SUNWswmt package (i.e. using the 'pkg' command).
HTH,

I think you could make it work by adding your own version of patchadd
providing empty output. Like a symbolic link from /usr/sbin/patchadd
to /usr/bin/true.
