I think this is the relevant message - we need to look at why you got the
additional errors but ignore them for now.

No. A hotfix usually updates a specific package; 'system/kernel' in the
case of 8806.

If a weekly update includes a new version of that package, then it will also
include the rolled-up hotfix. If a weekly update does not include that
package then you keep the hot-fixed version in place.

; Are they only compatible with the release they are built against?

No, but they won't apply if you have the same or a newer version of the
affected package installed already.

HTH.
