Please refer to MOS Note 1609718.1 and/or the invocation log

/orcl/db22/cfgtoollogs/sqlpatch/sqlpatch_76633_2021_02_12_01_13_10/sqlpatch_invocation.log

for information on how to resolve the above errors.

To fix this problem:

the above errors generated because multiple built-in oracle pacakges are revoked from “PUBLIC” as best security practice
if you query dba_registry_sqlpatch you will find that the patch is applied with ERRORS ….to overcome this and esnure success
patches being applied…grant these packages temporarly to public:

sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> grant execute on DBMS_RANDOM to PUBLIC;

SQL> grant execute on UTL_FILE to PUBLIC;

SQL> grant execute on UTL_HTTP to PUBLIC;

SQL> grant execute on dbms_lob to PUBLIC;

SQL> grant execute on dbms_sql to PUBLIC;

SQL> grant execute on dbms_job to PUBLIC;

SQL> exit;

then, re-run datapatch again:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch

./datapatch -verbose

after that revoke the permissions:

SQL> revoke execute on DBMS_RANDOM from PUBLIC;

SQL> revoke execute on UTL_FILE from PUBLIC;

SQL> revoke execute on UTL_HTTP from PUBLIC;

SQL> revoke execute on dbms_lob from PUBLIC;

SQL> revoke execute on dbms_sql from PUBLIC;

SQL> revoke execute on dbms_job from PUBLIC;

then perform re-compilation:

SQL> ?@/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

SQL> select comp_name,status from dba_registry;
