hello all,
i don't know if this feature exists in pca, here is the context:
- http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage, there is a pulldown 
list above "Latest Patch Update: /To ensure the correct functioning of 
the patching utilities on your system, stay up to date on the following 
patches:"

For example, for solaris 10, i have to do:
./pca 119254 119317 119683 121296 122034 122630
...
Patch  IR   CR RSB Age Synopsis
------ -- - -- --- --- 
-------------------------------------------------------
119254 59 = 59 RS-  33 SunOS 5.10: Install and Patch Utilities Patch
119317 01 = 01 R-- 999 SunOS 5.10: SVr4 Packaging Commands (usr) Patch
119683 -- < 02 --- 999 Obsoleted by: 118822-23 SunOS 5.10: 
lib/svc/bin/svc.configd Patch
121296 01 = 01 R-- 999 SunOS 5.10: fgrep Patch
122034 -- < 01 --- 970 Obsoleted by: 118815-03 SunOS 5.10: nawk patch

How is it possible to have, in a single command, a sort of "follow-up" 
to know if patches that have obsoleted other patches are present on the 
system?

Thanks in advance,

gerard
