Summary 0002810: postinstall script does not complete successfully
Description When installing this package on Solaris 10:

SunOS inet2 5.10 Generic_127112-10 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

by way of a \"pkg-get -i gcc3\", the postinstall script fails at the end of the package install:

Don\'t forget: whenever your system headers change run the mkheaders script!
pkgadd: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully

Installation of <CSWgcc3core> failed.
ERROR: could not add CSWgcc3core.


The log file referenced above (CSWgcc3core-20080305113007) contains the following:

chown: X11: No such file or directory
postinstall: anomaly : cannot change ownership for include directory!

It\'s possible to continue on with the Blastwave installation of gcc3, however \"pkg-get\" continually complains that gcc3core is not fully installed. I\'ve not yet run into a case where the gcc3 installation fails to work (eventhough the gcc3core package install failed), but that doesn\'t mean there isn\'t one.

 As near as I can tell, the headers are installed:

 the bug is due to this link created during the installation:
ultra20-henry% ll /opt/csw/gcc3/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.8/3.4.5/include/X11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 34 avr. 4 21:19 /opt/csw/gcc3/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.8/3.4.5/include/X11 -> root/usr/openwin/share/include/X11

as the link is bad, the command \"chmod -R\" in the postinstall script failed. I suggest to reconstruct the package?

 Grrr... I've logged a duplicate ;(

Yes, it's related to the mkheader + fixinc.sh that does that.

Please check the ./configure on this setup whether it's doing things right with that root stuff... or else it's something that needs to be taken upstream, but I've found that I do a pkgtrans, removed the error checking from the chown -R, fixed up pkgmap, and installed ;(

 Working on 3.4.6 I can confirm that the issue comes from the chmod -R in the postinstall script. When using /bin/chmod you get the error as X11 is a link toward an inexistent target --- this is because fixincl creates this link in case there is something to fix in the X11 related includes but doesn't find any, consequently the symbolic link is dangling.

There are 3 solutions:

1. remove the link in postinstall
2. use another method for recursively change the tree's ownership --- e.g. find
3. make gcc3core depend on gfile and use gchown which is lenient toward this kind of situation and, IMHO, has the expected behaviour.

I'll probably choose the 2nd one for 3.4.6 as 3 implies a new dependency, consequently a heavyer payload, and 1 is uncertain.

In the meantime you can avert this error by installing gfile and gnulinks packages before installing gcc3core --- i.e. provide the dependency that I discuss in 2 --- and set your PATH to contain /opt/csw/gnu at the beginning of the list.

 fixed in the upcoming 3.4.6 package
