Basicall, yes. But I guess in this situation it's not really a problem. 
Too bad that nowadays the READMEs for bad patches don't seem to be 
available anymore. In Sun times, one could check them for the reason of 
the patch being marked bad.

Just leave it as it is. 147147-26 supersedes 144560-04 and installs 
newer versions of all files included in 144560-04, so there are no bad 
parts left on your system.

That's the second report I get about this. I don't see the problem on my 
test systems, though.

It means that no package contained in 142373-03 is installed on your 
system, and therefore the patch can't be applied (patchadd will tell you 
the same, if you try to install the patch manually).

As 125719-49 requires 142373-03, it then fails to install.

Can you confirm that neither SUNWastfb nor UNSWastfbcf are installed, 
and let me know which Cluster you installed (Entire Distribution, 
Developer, etc.)? Could it be that you removed packages manually after 
installing the machine (this would cause such problems)?

Martin.
