[pca] Failed (no Sun Online Account data)

[Wei.Gao at dot.gov]

Yep, that was the problem.  I updated pca-proxy.cgi and it worked.  
 
Martin,
 
Thanks so much for your help.  You are absolutely the best!!!  
 
Also thanks Don and others who responded.  To prevent the same problem occurring in the future, I added update=auto to my proxy config file (/etc/pca-proxy.conf).  Yeahhhhhh, pca is working for me again!!!
 
Wei

The problem you have is on your local pca proxy. Judging from the the
output you provided, it's the proxy which fails to download patches.
Then pca on the client tries to download the patch, and only succeeds
when you provide SOA data to it.

If you have an old version of pca installed as cgi-bin/pca-proxy.cgi,
the first thing to try is to update it to the most recent version. Then
check /etc/pca-proxy.conf to see if it has the correct login/passwd.

If it still doesn't work, put "debug=1" into pca-proxy.conf, which
should write debug output from pca-proxy.cgi to /tmp/pca-proxy-debug.txt
- now try to download a patch on the client (e.g. "pca -d 120068-02")
and send us the output from /tmp/pca-proxy-debug.txt.

Martin.
