I would recommend reading the man page (pca -m), there are many useful options and features. Until you have time for that, try pca -l to have pca provide a list of missing patches for your specific server (along with dependencies). Then your review the list, if you are okay with the list you can run pca -i to install, if not, edit the list. This way you won't have to deal with obsolete patches.

I downloaded pca and also created a pca.conf file to download and install pacthes. I have created a list of patches in a file. When I try to download them, sometimes pca tells me patch number x is obsoleted by patch number y. Is there any way to tell pca to download the newer patches? or do I have to go back to my file and manually edit and change patch number x with patch number y and download them again? Kind regards Deniz.
