Glenn,
That seems to provide a bit more detail, which seems to make sense had I
not seen the patchinfo file. I ran the pca command against the patch
without a revision (see below) and then ran the same command against the
dependencies to see if they had any pre-requisites (below). It seems to
show one requirements (117350-62) but not the others. Any ideas.
*PATCH_REQUIRES="108528-29 117000-05 117350-62"*
