Not directly related to PCA, but might be handy: In the README of the new 
revision of the "Install and Patch Utilities Patch" for Solaris 10 (119254-84, 
119255-84) I spotted this:

   5012345 request for tool to list package dependencies

And indeed, the patches include a new script /usr/sbin/pkgdep, which prints 
dependencies of a given package. E.g.:

$ pkgdep -v SUNWgzip
SUNWcar - Core Architecture, (Root)
SUNWcsd - Core Solaris Devices
SUNWcsl - Core Solaris Libraries
SUNWcsr - Core Solaris, (Root)
SUNWcsu - Core Solaris, (Usr)
SUNWkvm - Core Architecture, (Kvm)

hth, Martin.
