[HPADM] check_patches question

I just ran check_patches on my system and normally, everything comes out
fine. No warning, no errors. Well this time, I got an interesting warning.
Has anyone seen the warning below and if so how did you handle it? From what
I can see, I should just be able to reinstall the listed patch with the
reinstall=true option and I should be all set. Just wanting a sanity check.
Thanks!!

* Determining if any HP-UX 11.00 patches are missing the SD-UX patch
* attributes required for SD-UX to handle the patches properly. If the
* patch attributes are missing SD-UX does not treat the software as
* patches, which can lead to unexpected results.

ERROR: One or more HP-UX 11.00 patches were not installed with the
         SD-UX patch attributes. This usually occurs when HP-UX 11.00
         patches are handled by the swcopy(1M) command on an
         HP-UX 10.X system, which does not recognize these attributes,
         and the patch attributes are lost. The absence of these
         patch attributes will cause SD-UX on HP-UX 11.00 to treat
         these patches inappropriately.

         Due to the severity of this issue, it is recommended that the
         software affected by these patches be reloaded. Once the
         software has been reloaded, the patches should be reapplied
         from a known good source insuring that the swinstall(1M)
         'patch_match_target=true' option is used.

         The following HP-UX 11.00 patches are missing the SD-UX patch
         attributes:

                PHSS_25684 L1000/L2000 41.38 firmware patch
