[pca] patch dependency issue w/ 118844-20

[Brookins, Neil (Philadelphia)]

When I run PCA with the --minimal and missingr options it says I need to install 118844-20
However, I see that 118855-36 is already installed and this obsoletes 118844-30.
I'm not understanding why PCA still thinks I need 118844 when I have a newer patch installed that obsoletes this.
