That's weird. AFAIK previous versions of OS at least had patchadd, to 
install old style patches for unbundled software. Can anybody else with 
a OS 2009.06 system confirm that patchadd has gone?

I think you could make it work by adding your own version of patchadd 
providing empty output. Like a symbolic link from /usr/sbin/patchadd to 
/usr/bin/true.
