RE: Error Applying October Patch - 19c

Oracle support just had me use the -force option, which I hate to do.

Contact the sender by phone to validate the contents. I installed the Oracle 19c combo patch this afternoon. Now when I try to run ./datapatch -verbose from the $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch directory, I get the following output:

I've tried to follow all the varied scenarios in Doc ID 1602089.1. However, when I try to query any of the opatch "tables", nothing ever comes back, it just hangs and I end up having to shutdown abort the database to get out of it. Since I can't match up the issues I'm seeing with any of the errors listed in that document, I'm not sure where to go with this. Does anyone have any other ideas?
