[pca] pca: Failed (unknown file type)

[Martin Paul]

Evan,

Forget about getupdates1.sun.com, it won't work with pca. While this and 
sunsolve.sun.com probably access the same patch database, the interface 
(URLs etc.) is completely different.

But did you receive the correct patch file or the same 80-bytes that pca 
got when running the same command? Please copy&paste the output you get 
from wget, "ls -l 119254-58.tmp" and "cat -v 119254-58.tmp" (only if 
it's *not* the 1.6MB patch file).

If you do get the correct patch file with the above command, re-try to 
download the patch with pca, as this should then work as well.

You can make try the same with wget/--no-check-certificate/https as 
mentioned in your other mail and again let me know the details about the 
file you received. You can use pca's "--ssprot=https" option to force it 
  to download via HTTPS from sunsolve as well. It includes the needed 
certificate, so you don't need any --no-check-certificate option with pca.

Martin.
