These questions might help:
If a package has not been installed in a zone, why should a patch for that
package be applied to that zone? Should patchadd apply a patch to a zone even
if the package is not there? What would it patch (i.e. what files should it
replace)?
Further, imagine a system without zones. If you attempt to install a patch to
a package which has not been installed on the system, the patch attempt will
fail. The message will be of the form:
Package not patched:
PKG=SUNxxxx
Original package not installed
