To use the Oracle Solaris 10 package and patch tools in Oracle Solaris 10 Zones, install the following patches for your architecture on your source system before the image is created.
119254-75, 119534-24, and 140914-02 (SPARC)
119255-75, 119535-24 and 140915-02 (x86/x64)
The P2V process will work without the patches, but the package and patch tools will not work properly within the solaris10 branded zone.
