11gR2 requires 4 additional patches on Solaris 10

Recently Sundeep contacted me when he was trying to install 11gR2 and the runInstaller gave failed message for 4 OS patches.

I went through 11gR2 install guide for Solaris SPARC (64-bit) available on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10863/toc.htm#i1011296.

In our environment, we are on correct Solaris patchset. However, these 4 patches are required in addition to being on the current patchset:
