[pca] Problem with 119090-31 patching and ABE with zones

Hi,

Has anyone seen a problem installing 119090-31 using the -R option to
a server with non global zones?

It looks like the postpatch script in this patch doesn't correctly
identify the zone patching context.

The patch fails when installing to a non global zone when trying to
add a driver to the NGZ.

This locks the zone and subsequent patches fail as the zone is locked
for patching.

Using patchadd does the same thing as does luupdate -t

The only workaround I have is to parchadd to the running BE before the
ABE is created or ignore the patch and apply it to the running system
after activating the ABE.

Is there anything that pca can do to help?
Should the patch be automatically ignored or something if there are zones?

Thanks

Peter
