Oops, I thought I had replied, but I forgot to actually send the draft...

Not a /tmp problem, since other patches went fine.

Sorry, I had a major LU issue right after that, could not follow up  
properly, but there was something odd: it was not a zip, it was a jar  
that PCA downloaded. Not some old remnant, since it got it from a  
freshly installed, empty PCA proxy.

Also, after I managed to fix the LU issue, I noticed this patch was  
the only one that had not been installed in the zone present on the  
system, though the patchadd had run successfully. Well, since I  
removed it from the global, I'll have to do more checks anyway, but  
it's kind of low on my priority list now :-/
