Patch Apply Fails

While I was attempting to apply the OPatch Apply of GI PSU 12.1.0.2.161018 with the following command (as described in 13 Downgrade GORDON to OEL6U5 ): 

/opt/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/grid/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -invPtrLoc /opt/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/grid/oraInst.loc -oh /opt/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/grid

I got the following messages:

Work-around

After opening a service request with Oracle Support, I was directed to OPatch/OPatchauto/DBCA throws “Unparseable date” error for TZ entries like AEST in comps.xml (Doc ID 2178555.1) which said:

This occurs due to unpublished BUG 24373668

To resolved the issue with opatch lsinventory , I had to use: 

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -jre $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/jre

This showed that the PSU was successfully applied.
