There's --format, BTW, so:

   ./pca -H -f . --format '%p'

should give the same result.

Hard to tell what's going on without knowing what your script really 
does. To take a stab in the dark - I see that you are only using the 
patch-ID from pca's output, but not the current revision. The 
dependencies change with revisions, though. If you are trying to install 
a set of "old" patches (not current revision), the dependency 
information from pca will probably be wrong - it looks are the current 
revision only (as patchdiag.xref does not include information on old 
patch revisions).

So if 111111-11 requires 222222-22, you cannot expect that installing 
any revision of 222222 before any revision of 111111 will suffice.

If you still can't get it going, show me complete output of pca and your 
script with the failing patchadd commands (if it's a lot of output, send 
it to me, not to the list).
