Seems odd to me that Solaris 10 patches are released on specific schedule
except for odd little creatures like this.

Anyways, makes me wonder what bugid 18117543 is.


Oracle support doesn't let me see what BugID 18117543 is about. The main 
difference seems to be that 144872-03 now requires 147002-01 (SunOS 
5.10: libxnet.so patch). My assumption would be that ifconfig requires a 
change or a new function in libxnet.so.1 provided by that patch.

Re: [pca] New patch fails to install because the patchfile is not a patchfile

Hi,


Can PCA not check the downloaded file is a zip file?


Thanks for the report - I've added an appropriate check to the 
development version of PCA.


Actually PCA alreadys does extensive checking of all possible replies 
from the Oracle server, but that's a moving target. In that case it's 
especially weird: PCA asks the server explicitely for a ZIP file, and 
the server returns an HTML file instead of an appropriate HTTP error code.
