Pkginfo -x = nothing returns /var/sadm/pkg = one zip file (119788-09.zip)
# cd /var/tmp # ls -lta patchdiag.* -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 3033936 Jun 18 13:47 patchdiag.xref After doing even more digging yesterday, I wonder if my jdk is the issue because smpatch also fails. According to this in the Sun forum (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5361159&tstart=1), Java 1.6.0_10 causes a problem with smpatch/updatemanager. I've tried doing the suggestions in this forum (changing pprosvc to JAVACMD="/usr/jdk/latest/bin/java -version:1.5*" and changing updatemanager to JAVA_EXEC="/usr/jdk/latest/bin/java -version:1.5*"), but still no dice. # java -version java version "1.6.0_12" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode) But according to a post by the ForumModerator, it is supposed to be fixed in this version of java we're running: The fix should be released in Java 1.6.0_12 (JDK 6 update 12) and is being tracked in CR #6771432.

What > can I do to check on this? The first thing to check would whether the output of "pkginfo -x" looks reasonable, ie. shows at least a few hundred installed packages. If pkginfo output is incorrect, take a look at /var/sadm/pkg/. You should have a lot of directories with files named "pkginfo" in them. Also take a look at /var/tmp/patchdiag, and check if it has a reasonable size and format (or use a copy from another machine, where pca output is fine). If all of the above is fine, please send me (not to the list) output from these commands: uname -a > uname.out showrev -p > showrev.out pkginfo -x > pkginfo.out for further diagnosis. Martin.
