Have been using pca for several months now to maintain my home systems,
after having successfully used it to update Studio 12 patches on SXCE.
I'm now using ZFS root on S10U6, and am looking to figure out how to use pca
to either generate a good patch list, or to find out if pca can patch an

My problem has repeatedly been that my account gets "deactiviated",
and I have had to go through this at least 3 times in the last 4 months,
with have a valid Platinum support contract.
Pretty depressing that there are this many issues.

I think some guts were put in pca to look for appropriate wget. Your

When you say "rebuilt", do you mean "reinstalled", or reimaged from backups?
ldd /usr/local/bin/wget will probably indicate which SunFreeware packages

I was unable to download a specific patch this morning.
Went to sunsolve, tried to download it, got a new "agreement", agreed,
it downloaded.
Once that happened, I was able to download with pca the same patch from my
normal system.
Kind of annoying.

Thanks for mentioning this. We're slowing getting rid of Solaris, but
being able to snapshot a patchdiag.xref file with the patches, and not have
to deal with it trying to look up a new one make our process very

I downloaded a patch on Monday (bash patch) and was successful. Now, a big

Here's the output from one of the failures.
Looking for 151487-01 (134/134)
Trying Oracle
Trying https://getupdates.ora
I think it was something transient. Later in the day, I had no problem
downloading a big list of patches.
