A number of times Oracle inventory gets corrupted. It shows blank inventory even if you are certain that patch was applied.
In my case:
Environment was patched to 11.1.2.3.500
A few months later when I checked the inventory it was blank.
So in cases like these where I am sure which patch is applied. I can do the following to update only the inventory and not the File system
opatch apply -no_sysmod <patchnumber>
Specifies that OPatch need not update the files in the system, only the inventory. It also does not execute the pre and post scripts.
