Re: Corrupt patch problem
The only thing I would add to James' advice is to try redownloading the patch beforehand - and verify the cksum!!

Re: Corrupt patch problem
Typically the patch state "corrupt" isn't related to patch download problems.
This is more related to internal consistency problems with the IPD.
But if Chris still has the original depot, he can compare with a new one.

Re: Corrupt patch problem
# swmodify -x patch_commit=true PATCH
where "PATCH" is replaced by the patch in question.

Re: Corrupt patch problem
swverify \*
# Helps spot corrupt patches.
I've found sometimes problems with the patch download process leads to corrupt installations. These patches include check sum information and it is worth ones time to confirm the check sum is what is expected.
Also if possible to download patches using the ftp scripting method puts in an extra check, to make sure the whole thing comes down.
I would swremove any corrupt patches, check the downloads, and re-do the downloads followed by swinstall of the new patch sets.

Re: Corrupt patch problem
if you reinstall a base patch like PHKL_31500, and not the superseding ones result may be worse that before.
so be sure to reapply a full bundle.

You should re-read Dennis's comment. That said, SWA uses MD5 sums to verify its downloaded software. Even fetching individual patches from the ITRC and using the 'create_depot' shell script does a simple 'cksum' after unpacking.
@ Laurent: Yes, good point. THere are some "line-in-the-sand" patches that need extra special handling and reinstalling them can lead to horendous problems :-)
