False warning “no patches will be applied during this install” during Database installation for Fusion Applications 11.1.9.2

While creating Transaction database for Oracle Fusion Applications 11g Release 9 (FA 11.1.9.2) , you see following warning during Prerequisites check (preverify) phase.

After validating the patch directory, ‘/stage/FA11192/installers/database/patch’, it has been determined that no patches will be applied during this install|

Opatch Directory Validation Requires:|

(1) /stage/FA11192/installers/database/patch must be a valid DIRECTORY|

(2) /stage/FA11192/installers/database/patch must contain NO FILES, only subdirectories|

(3) Patches must be unzipped in /stage/FA11192/installers/database/patch!

You may safely ignore this warning since it detects the patch metadata file PatchSearch.xml at <REPOSITORY_LOCATION>/installers/database/patch directory. Since it expects only Directories to be present in this location, it throws this false warning but during installation, it does apply all the included patches.
