Can't add patch properly
I am trying to add a patch to Solaris 8 and I am having problems.....like usual.
I downloaded the patch and unzipped it, extracted it to a file and transfererred it to the sun box via ftp. I moved it from the tmp directory to the /var/spool/pkg directory and I proceeded with the following which gave me the error shown:
# patchadd -M /var/spool/pkg 108435-15
One or more patch packages included in
108435-15 are not installed on this system.
Patchadd is terminating.
#
I checked the file that tells me what I am missing and it says the following:
THIS FILE CONTAINS THE LIST OF MISSING PATCHES OR KERNEL UPDATE .
The following patches are required on Solaris 5.8.
#The following patch is required if you are running Solaris 5.8 in 32-bit mode.
108434-04
#The following patch is required if you are running Solaris 5.8 in 64-bit mode.
108435-04
I can't find 108435-04 by itself but it seems to be a part of 108435-15 so I figure that it is the correct one and I am running 64bit (I think?)
If anyone sees what I am doing wrong please help!

So I tried this some more and found an error log that was produced saying that patch 108434-15 was required before the 108435-15 patch could be applied. I downloaded 108434-15 and tried to add that and I received the following error:
This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.
WARNING:
The /usr filesystem has 0 free blocks. The current installation requires 493
0 blocks, which includes a required 150 block buffer for open deleted files. 493
0 more blocks are needed.
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.
I have a symbolic link on the /usr system from the tmp file but the /usr filesystem is full. Suggestions?
