Solaris - October CPU error

When applying the latest prereq I got the following error:

bash-3.2# ./installpatchset --apply-prereq --s10patchset
ERROR: Unable to read patch set 10_Recommended_CPU_2012-07.README file.




Looking at the extracted files in the directory:

Spot the difference......

Yes, someone forgot to change the password check to read the 10_Recommended_CPU_2012-10.README and not 10_Recommended_CPU_2012-07.README file


Renaming the README files fixes the (minor) problem.......
