ADPATCH updates ad_file_versions table even when it doesn't copy the file to system

Hello Everyone,

I have observed this strange behavior  from adpatch tool that it updates ad_file_versions table even when it doesn't copy the file to the system.

When system has a file of higher version then the one patch is bringing in, then ideally adpatch will skip the copy portion for that and moves on with other stuffs. Here it does exactly this but though it skips the copy portions, updates the entry in AD_FILE_VERSIONS. Now the problem is as a DBA we could see the exact file version on the system with adident, but problem comes when application users check the table for AD_FILE_VERSIONS table they get incorrect information.
