Hi,

> Using pca version 20090105-01 patch 138866-02 fails to install.

It installed fine on two of my test machines, running 10/08 as well.

> Looking at the README.138866-02 it seems this patch is  needed prior to  
> patch  137137-09 being installed.

It's a hack from Sun. They found out that installing 137137-09 breaks 
some systems, and fixed it with a patch that has to be installed before 
137137-09, namely 125555-01. Instead of producing a new kernel patch 
revision which would require 125555, they produced a new revision of 
138866 which is already required by 137137-09, and made 138866 require 
125555. This should ensure that 125555 is installed before 137137-09. 
Weird :) For 10/08 all this shouldn't matter, as it has 137137-09 
pre-installed, as you noticed.

> Patch 138866-02 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.

Hm, I think I've never had that error, but it's a rather general failure 
message.

Is there anything more informative in this file?

Martin.
