Due to some recent backend changes in the Oracle patch download service there
might be issues with failing patch downloads with PCA in certain situations:
If you are using a firewall which restricts outgoing access, it might be
necessary to add a few extra rules for the new additional content distribution
networks used by Oracle. Look at the bottom of the online PCA installation
instructions for a list.
If you must use a local web proxy to access outside systems and use PCA's
wgetproxy option to set that, it might be possible that PCA does not set the
correct options for wget and patch downloads fail. Please use the current
development version of PCA, which contains a fix. A new stable version including
the fix will appear soon.
Martin.
