You want "missingrs" instead of "allrs", otherwise pca will try to 
install already installed patches as well.

The Java patches usually are huge and therefore take a lot of time to 
install, but I can't remember any hangs when installing them.

Unless the machine is very old, this is definitely too slow. Check the 
process list ("top", etc.) to see if something is blocking the machine.
