[SunHELP] 8_Recommened patch cluster problems

i have a fresh solaris 8 install that needs to be patched.

i haven't added any other patches or installed any additional software.

i ran the patch cluster by with the '-nosave -q' options.

however, i'm getting nothing but return codes 5 and 25, which are defined as
the following:

5        pkgadd failed
25       A required patch is not applied

why am i getting these errors?  why is pkgadd failing and why is it saying that
a required patch is not applied?  i thought it was using the patch order
included in the patch package, so it should install everything in proper order.

any recommendations on what's going on with this one?
