[pca] Solaris 2.6 patching difficulty.

Check your subscription to be sure you are authorized to get patches for Sun 6. We ran into that some time ago with our Sun 8 boxes, not realizing our subscription did not include 8 (only 9 & 10).

Subject: [pca] Solaris 2.6 patching difficulty.

Hello,
I am trying to use pca to load some patches on Solaris 6.
When I try to load a patch with pca -i it fails saying ..
Failed
Failed (patch not found)

Installing 106957-01 (1/1)
Failed (missing patch file)

I have my sunsolve information in the /etc/pca.conf file and have
authenticated to the proxy already. So I can use wget from the command
line. For example wget www.google.com.

Any idea why this could be happening?
Output is below.

Thank you in advance
Jimmy
