       Hi,

every time I run 'smpatch update' on Solaris 10 machines, it downloads patch
119728-01 but then fails to apply it:

bash-3.00# smpatch analyze
[snip]
119728-01 SunOS 5.10: Fujitsu fmd.conf patch
[snip]
bash-3.00# smpatch update
[snip]
ALERT: Failed to install the patch {0}. 119728-01
[snip]

and there is a message (formatting directly from dmesg):

May 20 14:17:03 Validating patches...Loading patches installed on the system...Done!Loading patches requested to install.Done!The following requested patches do not update any packages installed on the systemNo any packages from patch 119728-01 are installed on the system.No patches to check dependency. Package FJSVfmd from patch 119728-01 is not installed on the system.

According to its README file, it fixes /usr/platform/FJSV,GPUU/lib/fm/fmd/fmd.conf
but none of our machines is Fujitsu based (SB100, SF280, SF880, ...). So,
why does smpatch always try to install that patch?

This has been like this for the last week or so.

Any suggestions?
