[pca] WARNING: cannot verify login.oracle.com's certificate

[Jeff Earickson]

Martin,

I downloaded the development version and tried it.  A whole bunch of new
patches appeared.  I also discovered that my firewall was blocking a (new
to me) Oracle subnet for downloads: 209.17.0.0/18.

For me, this change was a silent failure.  I was not seeing patches, yet
thought that everything was ok.  Yuck.  I am down to two Sun machines and
will be happy to get rid of them this Summer.
