[pca] pca displays recommended patches that are not security patch when asking for only security patches

[Asif Iqbal]

Hi

I ran this `pca -l ms -f /tmp/example.net/' where `/tmp/example.net' has the
uname.out, showrev.out and pkginfo.out of example.net host

And I get more than security patches in the list

# pca -l ms -f /tmp/example.net/
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from May/15/09
Host: example.net (SunOS 5.10/Generic_137137-09/sparc/sun4v)
List: ms (46/2855)

As you can it displays "R" patches as well.

Is that normal and am I experiencing a bug?

I am using latest pca.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
