Updatemanager shows patches already installed

Question

Hiii !
I'm using the updatemanager on Solaris 10 x86.
Recently I installed the kernel patch 118855-36 (you have to do that manually).
( By the way: the patch was not signed. How come ? )
After reboot the updatemanager comes up with a lot of patches, around 90.
When I try to install those, most of them (if not all) fail, because they are already installed.
How do I get rid of them ? Where can I tell the manager that tey are already installed ?
On other computers we have similar problems since years ;-)
Updatemanager comes up with patches for packages that are not even installed.
Thanks in advance, felix

Answer 1

First, I am a hobbyist running Solaris 10 within Parallels on an intel Macbook.
When I tried to patchadd 124631-03, the result was
The following requested patches will not be installed because
no patches required by the patch are installed on this system.
0 For patch 124631-03, required patch 119082-25 does not exist.
consistent with what felix wrote in reply 5. Unfortunately, I am not a paying customer and was not allowed to download 119082-25 (although I was allowed to download 124631-03).
I can only hope that both patches will show up in update manager so that I can install them from within update manager .
