[pca] Patch 142901-05: installation woes

[Scott A. Severtson]

We reverted the server to an unpatched 10u8 via Live Upgrade, and it's 
stable for now. However, there's a few patches we really need in place...

Fortunately, we have a Sun/Oracle Managed Services contract, which 
includes installing patches at our request. We just sent them the list 
of 104 patches we'd like installed, by hand :)

Wonder if we'll end up with the same errors?

Thanks for all the help/encouragement.
