Local patch server confused again

Question

Starting earlier this week, Solaris 10 clients that connect to our local patch server
only report that patch 121118-08 is required. Running `smpatch analyze' a week
ago showed many more patches. After 121118-08 is applied, another `smpatch
analyze' says `No patches required.'. One of these clients needed 139 patches before,
and now needs none! What happened?
Solaris 10 machines that don't go through the local patch server are behaving
normally. Restarting the local patch server didn't help. The local patch server's
URL is `https://getupdates1.sun.com/solaris/'. It hasn't been changed for some time,
and was working a week ago.

Answer 1

Here's a bit more data. Clearly it's the LPS that's messed up. As you can see above the LPS is getting an old current.zip but the LPS host actually gets the correct one when it goes to the same site to get the same file.
