[pca] Problem to download news patches

Hi Olvier,

Ok, that sounds fine.

All of the 64 failed patches are marked with "NOT FOUND IN CROSS 
REFERENCE FILE!" in PCA's output. Usually, if a patch is not in 
patchdiag.xref, you can't download it from Oracle.

Did you by chance try to download patches with "pca -d all"? Most 
probably you want "missing" instead of "all", because "all" also 
includes already installed patches. There are pre-installed patches in 
Solaris 10 update releases which are never published by Oracle, so you 
can't (and don't need to) download them.

hth,
Martin.
