Description LB 2012-03-13 16:21:48 MDT

It looks like the Solaris pkg file was generated without relative path names so it doesn't allow for pkgadd -R to function correctly.

The postinstall script doesn't account for the alternate root so when it does the cp -p /etc/sudoers.dist /etc/sudoers - it fails.


Modify the postinstall file so that the line

sudoers=/etc

becomse

sudoers=${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT}/etc

That will fix the postinstall.

I used pkgtrans to extract the package, and fixed the postinstall, then re-rolled it and it works.

Thanks, I've fixed the postinstall script and re-rolled the 1.8.4p4 packages.
