I downloaded the latest patchdiag.xref manually, because pca couldn't find it.

I have one more SPARC server, where pca failed:

# uname -a
SunOS star 5.10 Generic_150400-21 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

# pca -l

Host: star (SunOS 5.10/Generic_150400-21/sparc/sun4u)

BTW, patchdiag.xref is not corrupted...Here is manually downloaded
patchdiag.xref:
