Description
The code present in the postinstall and preremove scripts to determine the underlying Solaris release isn't robust in all cases.  In particular, it gets
confused by Micro release nomenclature (since we haven't done a Micro release
in 8 years).  We still probably won't be releasing a Micro release of Solaris,
but the development environment for the next Solaris release currently
identifies itself as VERSION=10.1 (uname -r = 5.10.1).

WORK AROUND Execute the following command after installation: # rm /usr/java; ln -s jdk/jdk1.5.0_01 /usr/java All will be well. ###@###.### 2004-12-07 18:14:00 GMT

SUGGESTED FIX Change: GetHostRelease() { if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/var/sadm/system/admin/INST_RELEASE ]; then ver=`grep '^VERSION=' \ $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/var/sadm/system/admin/INST_RELEASE` else ver=`uname -r` fi ver=`echo $ver | sed -e "s/[^0-9]*//" -e "s/[^0-9\.].*//"` echo $ver | grep -s "[0-9]*\.[0-9]*" > /dev/null if [ $? = 0 ]; then ver=`echo $ver | sed -e "s/[0-9]*\.//"` fi echo $ver } To: # # GetHostRelease () # # The use of /var/sadm/system/admin/INST_RELEASE is allowed by PSARC/2001/472. # We fallback to the use of uname should this file not exist, but that may # give the wrong answer for diskless server installations. Fortunately, the # absence of the INST_RELEASE file is a "should never happen" situation, # except for internal development where it happens all the time, but then # uname does yield the right answer. # # Unfortunately, the format of the VERSION identifier has changed over time # as "Solaris 2.X" became marketed as simply "Solaris X". Hence we need # to allow for both the "2.X" and simply "X" forms. uname is consistant in # providing a "Major.Minor[.Micro]" format. # # This returns the simple "X" that is the Minor release by the taxonomy. # GetHostRelease() { if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/var/sadm/system/admin/INST_RELEASE ]; then ver=`grep '^VERSION=' \ $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/var/sadm/system/admin/INST_RELEASE` ver=`echo $ver | sed -e "s/[^0-9]*//" -e "s/^2\.//" -e "s/\..*//"` else ver=`uname -r | sed -e "s/[0-9]*\.//" -e "s/\..*//"` fi echo $ver } ###@###.### 2004-11-16 20:00:28 GMT
