[titan : /tank/patch : 5 ] ./pca -l missing
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Aug/16/22
Host: titan (SunOS 5.10/Generic_153153-06/sparc/sun4u)
List: missing (0/0)

[titan : /tank/patch : 6 ] ./pca -l all
Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Aug/16/22
Cannot handle date (0, 0, 0, 01, 0, 2071) at ./pca line 2515
[titan : /tank/patch : 7 ]

I have never tried all before - I typically install using “missing”.
