It's hard to see what could be wrong then. When using the same MOS account and 
PCA setup, it would be weird if a patch downloads fine on one box and doesn't on 
another.

Now that's a different thing. If PCA thinks that a patch applies to a system, 
and it then fails to install with an error like "attempt to install a patch for 
software not installed" then please report it to me. Sometimes metadata for a 
patch is wrong in patchdiag.xref, wrongly making PCA believe that a patch 
applies to a system although it doesn't. I usually add workarounds for those 
patches to PCA.
