This happens because packages get added to /var/sadm/install/gz-only-packages file and not removed; I think we've fixed the patch tools so this shouldn't happen now. You should be able to just remove those packages from the file (in fact, you can remove all of them since you've uninstalled the zone) and run the upgrade again. > The system had a zone, but it was removed prior to the upgrade (so the > upgrade would run): > > bash-3.00# zoneadm list > global > Next time you'll have the option of upgrading with the zone in place.
