Can anyone please help me? I get this error :

Checking files for safe patch installation

You are running PCA with its "--safe" option. This runs "pkgchk" on every file included in a patch before installing the patch, to ensure that a patch won't overwrite files with local modifications (patchadd would simply replace the file with the version included in the patch zip file).

Sometimes the database with the checksums isn't correct, though, leading to false warnings. It's on the admin to decide what to do then: If you're sure that the file can be safely overwritten, re-run the patch installation without "--safe".

In your example it's /usr/sbin/flarcreate which doesn't have the size and checksum it's supposed to have. I haven't seen any false warnings with that file. Maybe it was indeed modified locally for some reason?
