That's absolutely correct. Jamen - the patch you want to install doesn't 
match the package/software you have installed.

As to why there are two versions of the SUNWwsr2 package with the same 
version 3.0.0 but a different revision, I can't answer that. I see that 
there is 110716-02 (SunOS 5.8: Solaris Product Registry 3.0 patch) for 
the version of SUNWwsr2 you have installed. Sometimes the OS tag in the 
synopsis ("SunOS 5.8") is not correct for unbundled software. Or 
somebody has manually installed a wrong package on your system. If you 
have the OS CDs/DVD you installed, check for the version of SUNWwsr2 it 
contains ..

Martin.
