The solution is to *not* use a symbolic link for /var/sadm/pkg/. That's 
an issue with Suns/Oracles patch tools (like patchadd), BTW, and not PCA.

As Dagobert mentioned, use a loopback mount instead:

   rm /var/sadm/pkg
   mkdir /var/sadm/pkg
   mount -F lofs /apps/sadm/pkg /var/sadm/pkg

You can also make this permanent via vfstab.

hth,
Martin.
