You're describing a different problem here.

Laurent has OpenOffice 3.0 installed on his machine, and neither 
StarOffice 9 nor StarSuite 9, but pca shows him the StarOffice 9 patch 
139337 as missing. patchadd will install it, but not with the intended 
results.

Looking at the OpenOffice 3.0 download, it installs exactly the packages 
which are listed in patchdiag.xref for 139337, and that's why pca shows 
the patch even though StarOffice 9 is not installed.

The only possible explanation is that StarOffice 9 uses the same package 
names as OpenOffice 3.0. Can you verify that? Why isn't a SUNW* prefix 
being used, as was the case for SO8? Is it intended that Sun produces an 
official patch which applies to OpenOffice?
