The system is a Sunblade 100 running Solaris 10 (3/05 HW1). I tried to

No problems at all, with either pca or smpatch.
There might be something wrong with your system.

Solaris 10 3/05 s10_74L2a SPARC
Patch installation never gave any trouble under Solaris 9. The problem
under Solaris 10 seems to be very rare since people I've spoken to
haven't experienced it, and I had no replies to a posting on this
subject to comp.sys.sun.admin in September 2006. There is however a
fairly obvious solution - move to a PC running Linux, and stop wasting
time on Solaris!
whatever makes you happy, but if you get a PC why not install Solaris 10 x86 or OpenSolaris? Reserve a partition for LiveUpgrades and you will never have to reinstall the system again.. Heck, you won't even have to burn CDs/DVDs no more, perhaps except for the very first install - after that you can do LiveUpgrades straight from the ISO images.
