Description
In previous releases of the SUNWj5*x packages, in 1.4.2, 5.0, and 5.0u1,
ARCH in pkginfo was set to 

	ARCH=sparc

In 5.0u2, ARCH is set to

	ARCH=sparcv9

This is breaking patching with the SUNWj5*x packages.

Likely a sideeffect from solaris-amd64 work.

Also found problems with the SUNWj5* packages for solaris-amd64.

      ARCH=amd64
      SUNW_ISA=sparcv9

While they work with pkgadd, Solaris integrations audits will likely barf.
SUNW_ISA seems to be obsolete, as there aren't any packages in
S10 with a "SUNW_ISA=amd64", or actually any packages with
SUNW_ISA.   I'd remove the SUNW_ISA line from the 64bit packages.

As to ARCH, all the packages in S10 have ARCH=i386, so
this is what our packages should have.

I'll need to fix these by hand to get 5.0u2 out the door, but
these issues need to be address in the next build of 5.0u3, which
is coming up next week.

Comments
SUGGESTED FIX I will add additional clauses to the changes made in 6209613 so that when the ARCH is sparcv9, and the ARCH_DATA_MODEL is 32, the PKG_ARCH is sparc. ###@###.### 2005-03-02 04:56:32 GMT

EVALUATION This is a result of changes made for 6190987. It should be easy to fix. ###@###.### 2005-03-02 04:56:32 GMT
