Problems installing Patch Manager 2 on Solaris 9

Hello,

I have a Solaris 9 machine on which I am trying to install Patch Manager
2. I have PatchPro 2.2 also installed on the same machine.
Since PatchManager2 requires some patches to be installed previously
like: 112945 117593 117595, I tried to install these. The last one
117595 if I understood correctly contains the patch manager itself. The
problem is that I installed 112945-40 which the patch manager doesn't
like and would instead require 112945-27. I tried patchrm 112945-40 and
patchrm -f 112945-40 but invain. I also tried patchadd 112945-27 and
patchadd -u 112945-27 but invain also.

    # patchadd -u 112945-27

    Checking installed patches...
    Executing prepatch script...
    Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...

    Patch 112945-27 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.

    See /var/sadm/patch/112945-27/log for details

    Patchadd is terminating.

The following is the log file:

    Package not patched:
    PKG=SUNWdclnt
    Original package not installed.
    Package not patched:
    PKG=SUNWlvma
    Original package not installed.
    Package not patched:
    PKG=SUNWmga
    Original package not installed.
    Package not patched:
    PKG=SUNWpmgr
    Original package not installed.
    Package not patched:
    PKG=SUNWwbdev
    Original package not installed.

    This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
    version of a package which is already installed. This installation
    will attempt to overwrite this package.

    PaTcH_MsG 1 Patch number 112945-27 is superceded by the already
    applied 112945-40.
    Dryrun complete.
    No changes were made to the system.

    This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
    version of a package which is already installed. This installation
    will attempt to overwrite this package.

    WARNING: /etc/rc0.d/K36wbem <no longer a regular file>
    WARNING: /etc/rc1.d/K36wbem <no longer a regular file>
    WARNING: /etc/rc2.d/S90wbem <no longer a regular file>
    WARNING: /etc/rcS.d/K36wbem <no longer a regular file>
    Dryrun complete.
    No changes were made to the system.

    This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
    version of a package which is already installed. This installation
    will attempt to overwrite this package.

I am really confused as what I need to do since even trying to install
117595-03 gives:

    # patchadd 117595-03

    Checking installed patches...
    One or more patch packages included in
    117595-03 are not installed on this system.

    Patchadd is terminating.

Can anyone help me out please?

Regards,
Darren
