EVALUATION We have a suggested fix for 6533166, attached to that CR, which reduces package database update time, so we would like to discuss what benefit this gives on your 2.5-hour-update machine, and set expectations accordingly. (Also, there was some duplication in the previous package update script, so that's why you saw some files listed 3 times.) We could also explain further the progress by stating that we are removing and then adding package database information, e.g. ... Updating package SUNWj3rt with timezone base directory /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi (update time is variable, but this version takes XX minutes.) Removing previous package entries... /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/Africa /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/America . . . /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/Etc/UTC /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/Etc Installing new package entries... /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/Africa ..

SUGGESTED FIX 1. Fix the time estimate. Since the time may depend on hardware configuration, give a range, or do an internal test and compute the estimate dynamically. 2. In the documentation, explain what will be seen.
