FYI: I received both of your posts. I would expect the "-list" option to list missing dependencies. It depends on the patchdiag.xref file which has been known to contain errors.
Here's an example: /var/tmp/pca --list 150400-01 Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Dec/08/14 Host: pdkermit (SunOS 5.10/Generic_150400-05/sparc/sun4v) List: 150400-01 (1/0) Patch IR CR RSB Age Synopsis ------ -- - -- --- --- ------------------------------------------------------- 150400 05 < 18 RS- 24 SunOS 5.10: Kernel Patch /var/tmp/pca --list 150400 Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Dec/08/14 Host: pdkermit (SunOS 5.10/Generic_150400-05/sparc/sun4v) List: 150400 (2/48) Patch IR CR RSB Age Synopsis ------ -- - -- --- --- ------------------------------------------------------- 150510 -- < 03 R-- 24 SunOS 5.10: /var/svc/manifest/system/sysidtool.xml patch 150400 05 < 18 RS- 24 SunOS 5.10: Kernel Patch (Note: the first run is using "150400-01" and the second is using "150400") Do you suspect a problem?

It is a legitimate e-mail. Will this script list all patch dependencies for a given patch? Thanks, Lenny
