Have you - or someone else with the root password - manually installed 
packages from the Solaris 9 distribution on this Solaris 10 system? As 
pca merely matches installed packages against the packages which come in 
the patches, that's about the only possible explanation.

If you send me (not the list!) the output of these commands, I can take 
a closer look:

   uname -a > uname.out
   showrev -p > showrev.out
   pkginfo -x > pkginfo.out

Martin.
