[pca] failing patch downloads

Thanks Frank and Thomas for checking the download. So it seems as if 
it's now my SOA which is a victim of the mysterious "suddenly doesn't 
work anymore" symptom.

I tried to download the patches via the browser from SunSolve, but it 
also told me that I'm not entitled to do so. Looking at the "Change 
Contract" page on SunSolve, I see that the support contract is listed, 
but the checkbox in front of the contract number is unchecked. No idea 
whether this is required, but I know for sure that I didn't change 
anything there.

If you wonder about "no Sun Online Account data" - pca asks your local 
caching proxy, which fails to deliver the patch (because it doesn't 
exist). The next step for pca would be to try to get the patch from 
SunSolve directly, but it doesn't have SOA data for that - therefore the 
message. So the final error is "patch not found", which is correct.

Martin.
