[pca] different directory for patches

[Stevenson, Bradley (NE)]

Was there a solution to this problem ?  We are considering the use of this tool in our
Environment but we do have linked directories for /var/sadm/pkg on some of our servers.

Thanks,

Subject: [pca] different directory for patches

Is there a way I can force patchadd to look in a different directory than the default /var/sadm/pkg directory? We created a softlink from /var/sadm/pkg to /apps/sadm/pkg (due to space issues), but now patchadd always fails:

Directory is expected, found link - /var/sadm/pkg.
Failed (exit code 1)

Showrev -p does fine; and downloading the patches with pca -d does fine as well. It's just the actual installation of the patches where it fails. I'm pretty sure I had this fixed before, but honestly, I don't remember what I did (plan to DOCUMENT what I do this time!). Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
