Should Obsolete patches be removed?
On my server when I give 'patchadd -p' the output is
# patchadd -p
Patch: 105416-01 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWaccu
Patch: 106193-01 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWadmap
Patch: 105800-01 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWadmap
Patch: 105800-06 Obsoletes: Requires: 106125-05 Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWadmap, SUNWadmap
So should I remove the Obsolete Patch? How do I find out which is the alternative patch that is to be added?
Could any body suggest?

There are no obsolete patches.
If you haa patches that were obsoleted you would see something like:
Patch: 107298-03 Obsoletes: 109386-02 Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWntpu
Where the new patch is 107298-03 and this obsoletes 109386-02
On your example above you have now obsolete patches.
