Most recent.
The Recommended (or CPU) patch set does not include all the r or s' flagged
patches. Also, sometimes the r or s is added later - so you can end up
with a pca report suggesting you missed sometime the last time you patched.

Martin,
I do not remember whether the listserv allows attachments but I ran the current
dev pca on x86 Solaris 10 (so I used 151616) - the output is attached.
Thanks,

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:

Gordon,
I'm not doing what you are, but I go the other way and copy the
patchdiag.xref file to each server - that way there is no need to keep the
explorer ect. Files.

Martin,
BTW, do you know PCA's -y, --nocheckxref option? It will make PCA skip
the check for updates of the xref file. If you use it with a frozen
patchdiag.xref file, everything should be fine.
I find both:
--nocheckxref and --xrefdir
very useful.
Thanks,

and the IPs I needed to add.

(Note: I checked the ctime for patchdiag.xref on several servers and it
appears that NetBackup is causing ctime to be updated when the file is backed
up.)

If you can reproduce the problems, re-run pca with --debug and send me the

The updates that we have been getting were called quarterly updates by the
Sun Spectrum support contract web pages even though there were only about 2 of

Perhaps the next Solaris update will be called CPU rather than 5/10 update 9.

Matin,
It's my understanding that the patching process ignores SST hardening.
I have seen patching undo hardening on Solaris 9.
As far as configuration files go - doesn't the --safe option address that issue?
