I did check the patch README file but was a little confused by it. 
The original question is at the end of this file.

Did you check the patch README?

According to it this patch requires package SUNWsasdk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure that "Solstice Enterprise Agents 1.0.3" is installed.  The patch
failed for me also, and then I installed (re-installed?) v1.0.3.   After that 
the patch installed without a hitch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You apparently need to download a newer version of the snmp agents
from some place and then patch it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

>From README:

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
IMPORTANT: This patch is not compatible with SDK agents built prior to
patch 106956-03. These agents must be recompiled using mibcodegen from
patch 106956-03 or greater.
This patch is for SEA version 1.0.3
See SEA web page, if you need to add toolkit sdk (SUNWsasdk package)
http://www.sun.com/solstice/products/ent.agents

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here's the original question:

I never saw any answers to the following post and I never saw
a summary. I'm experiencing the same problem with patch
106787-18 for Solaris 2.6. Can anyone help?

Thanks!
Martin Meadows
