Hi,
Received numerous replies & I've extracted the following
few which basically give similar solutions. Apologies
that I'm unable to name the lengthy list of contributors.

I just hit this one yesterday. At some point the patchadd
process does an su to the install user if one exists, otherwise
to user nobody. If the patch files and all parent directories
aren't readable by install/nobody, you get exactly the error
you report. For me setting execute permission for all on
/var/spool/patch fixed the problem.
==================================================
You can workaround this in two ways, one is to make sure that the user
"nobody"
can read all patch files and execute a "pwd" in the patch directory or
add an
account "install" to /etc/passwd:
install:x:0:1:installpatch braindamage:/:/bin/true
Installpatch and patchadd use "nobody" as a fallback if it cannot find
the
"install" user.
You indicated that you'd checked the permissions on the
subdirectories for world readability, but did you check
the permissions on the directories in the path above the
patch directory?
=========================================
I've gone insane trying to resolve this before. This may not be your
problem, but I think you'll find you need world read all the way to
root (/) wherever the patch is.
Uh... http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2.html#q5.59 says
If any of the patch files or if any part of the path leading up to the
patch directory cannot be read by nobody, an error similar to the
following will appear:...

Received several suggestions (I appreciate it) but it's still not
resolved yet. I've inserted below replies to requests for more
information :
A)I've verified that all directories/file under the patch
directory has world read, rerun patchadd/pkgadd &
still got the same error. Then I issued "umask 022"
from another suggestion & rerun again & still getting
the same error
B)return status code is 5 :
one reply asks for "echo #?" to see what's the
status code but it always give a blank output
& so I issued "echo $?" which gave "5" as
follows (note: pkgadd returns "3") :
# patchadd -d /home/9mydir/patch/114219-11
Checking installed patches...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Patch 114219-11 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/114219-11/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.
# echo $?
5
C) Content of /var/sadm/patch/114219-11/log :
(I've inserted in between **...** my remarks) :
Package not patched:
PKG=SUNWdtim
Original package not installed.
This appears to be an attempt to install the same
architecture and
version of a package which is already installed.
This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.
** I believe this is because 114219-11 contains 2 **
** packages, SUNWdtim & SUNWolrte, & SUNWolrte **
** is already installed : **
** # pkginfo | grep -i Wolrte **
**system SUNWolrte OPEN LOOK toolkits runtime environment**
/home/9mydir/patch/114219-11/SUNWolrte/install/checkinstall: /home/9mydir/patch/
114219-11/SUNWolrte/install/checkinstall: cannot open
pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.
Do I need to do "pkgrm" to remove a certain package which
may be hindering this or is it this patch is not applicable as
this box is missing some pre-requisite packages?
Thanks

this one.
Many thanks in advance
