Error in installing patch.

Hi,
I'm following the instruction given in this site on how to install
PHCO_19046 but I got errors :
1. /tmp> sh PHCO_19046
x - PHCO_19046.depot
Error : PHCO_19046.text checksum is 49551 should be 31269
Error : wc results of PHCO_19046.text are 1657 5943 69227 should be 1657 5943
55990
x - PHCO_19046.depot [compressed]

I still continue to install it.
2. swinstall -p -s /tmp/PHCO_19046.depot
works fine
3. swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHCO_19046.depot
Please find attached error.

Now how will I know that the patch had been installed ?
This patch had been superseded, do I have to install the latest patch to
resolve the following problem on SAM users :
UNEXPECTED EXIT: process LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/sam/lbin/samx -C -p 1791 -s
users /usr/sam/lib//ug.ui exited with a non-zero exit status.

sh: 1908 Bus error(coredump)

NOTE : That patch was being suggested here in Forum for me to install.

When you do a

swlist -l fileset -a state | more

you should find your patch
it should be in state configured. If it is only in installed or any other
filesets is only in state installed do a
swconfig \*

From the error message you've provided, it looks like the install didn't
complete - swagentd wasn't able to connect to the "source" depot. Have you
checked /var/adm/sw/swagentd.log for more information on the error?

Why is there a '\' character in your command line? It looks like the -s
argument was ignored. Try this instead:

swinstall -s /tmp/PHCO_19046.depot -x match_target=true

You should only need the '\' character if your command line spans multiple
lines. I think the example from the .text file uses this, which is little
misleading.
