When I try to install a patch, I get:

 Problems with the lock file
 Lock file exists, details are:
  Interim Patch 2965263 is holding the lock,   probably due to previous unsuccessful operation

Yet, the $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage directory has a file called patch_free. I even checked the install log of 2965263 and all looks OK:

 Performing post-patch inventory update and removing working files.  Patch 2965263 has been applied successfully.

Help! I need to apply more patches!
Thanks,
Vince Laurent
