To see what patches are installed try below: showrev -p OR showrev -p | grep <patch name> just like that showrev -p | grep 120753-05 it helps to see the level of a particuler patch even u can use pkginfo command with related package name see kernel patch uname -a For better info and hints: please <a href="http://www.sunsolarisadmin.com/general/sun-patch-check-free-opensource-utility-to-check-patch-status/">see here</a>

i will try showrev -p

My problem so far with pkginfo is it doesn’t consider 120753-05 to be the packagename, and I can’t figure out what the package name for the update actually is

I think 120753-05 or whatever it is is not a package name. Try one more time as: pkgchk with full package and path name, See here and I hope this also helps to determine with patch exit code and full Tips and Tricks

And also see here for Package related all queries, specially, u will do scroll down and see the section Package Verification
Even u can use the above link (which I mentioned in Answer) and it is a free utility.
