Thanks to everyone who responded,

The Query : -

I am trying get the patch revisions by giving " showrev -p "
it is giving the output as follows -

# showrev -p
showrev: get_env_var(core, SUNW_PATCHID)

The OS is 2.5.1 on Ultra 60.
Any inputs will be helpful.

-------------
The Solution ->

Hi.

Have you checked if you have a core file in /var/sadm/pkg? If this is the
case, remove it and try again, it should work. The showrev command might be
confused by the core in /var/sadm/pkg directory, considering it a Solaris
package and trying to retrieve all related information.

Hope this helps.

Ciao
Luca Pizzinato
