[pca] Expected behavior when specifying a patch when required packages are not installed.

[Jeff Tejnecky]

I'm new to pca, so please be gentle if this has been asked before.

We apply subsets of patches to resolve specific issues.  Something I noticed
is if I run, as an example, "pca -i 122911", which is the Apache 1.3 patch,
on a server that doesn't have Apache installed, it will still download the
patch and try to apply it, at which time patchadd will fail.  Is that
expected behavior?  Or am I missing a command line option?  I would expect
it to return that there are no patches necessary.

Thanks,
Jeff
