All,
      Packages that are definitely loaded are missing from /var/sadm/pkg
So when I try to apply a patch I get One or more patch packages included
in
111310-01 are not installed on this system. The packages are installed but
            the pkginfo directory is missing. Can the /var/sadm/pkg
            directory be regenerated.(with some command or procedure)
                I figure I can copy the directories from another similar
            server, but I am not sure if this is wise. Does anyone have
            experience with this type of problem.

PS> The patches are require to upgrade Oracle to 9206
