Thanks to Martin B. I found the root cause of the problem - all systems 
with Solaris version lower than 10 5/09 are affected. It was this 
release which introduced the new SUNWastfb* packages.

The workaround is to install SUNWastfb* from a newer Solaris 10 
distribution to the old system. Then 142373-03 and 125719-49 will 
install fine.

Don: I guess that's a bug in 125719-49 - it shouldn't require a patch 
for packages which are not available in all Solaris 10 releases.

Martin.
