Thanks Martin, I keep forgetting to do that. Maybe pca should have an
auto-update option?

That's weird. It should try "http://sunsolve.sun.com/patchdiag.xref" at
first. Please re-run pca with "--debug" and send me the output, so I can
see what's going on.

It actually has Put "update=check" into e.g. /etc/pca.conf to get
notified of new versions. With "update=auto" pca will even download and
keep itself up-to-date automatically.

See the section named "UPDATE PCA" in "pca --help" for details.
