SXCE 110 x86-32. I'm trying to apply a patch to a product that is installed under some alt.root (really just a still inactive BE), but isn't a part of the currently booted system. So I run
patchadd -R somedir ... and get an error telling me that there're no directories for packages being patched under /var/sadm/pkg. ??? Of course, there're no such things there, that's what I'm giving flag -R for, look under /somedir/var/sadm/pkg ... Simple truss'ing shows that until some point, patchadd indeed accesses /somedir/var/sadm/... but then suddenly tries to read /var/sadm/pkg/somepackage/pkginfo and, naturally, fails. I seemingly have a vague recollection that it worked before, maybe months ago on earlier SXCE builds, but I don't remember firmly and may be mistaken. The patch is 139337-01, if it matters. It it a known patch* bug, or it's how it's supposed to work (if latter, maybe somebody could explain this rather odd logic)?
