It looks as though the latest revision of this patch has an error in the
dependency checking:

Comparing it with the rev-14 patch highlights the probable error:
mpx# diff 124867-14/SPROcc/pkginfo 124867-15/SPROcc/pkginfo

Does anyone know what the process is for feeding this information back into
Sun/Oracle?
Also, I attempted to use the 'ignore=124867-15' syntax to skip over applying
this patch, but it didn't attempt to install the 124867-14 patch, as I would
have hoped. What would be the required syntax for supporting such an
operation?
Thanks,
David.
