It shouldn't do so - can you show us the actual pca command line you are 
using?

Maybe you are running "pca -i all" instead of the default patch group 
("missing"). Be aware that "all" only really makes sense when using it 
with e.g. "pca -l all" to list all patches that apply to a machine, both 
the ones which are installed and those which are missing.
