Summary

0004775: MANUALDIR not set correctly in alternatives script

Description

Set to:

MANUALDIR=/etc/opt/etc/alternatives #manual override location

believe it should be:

MANUALDIR=/etc/opt/csw/etc/alternatives #manual override location

Further, this directory doesn't appear to be created my the installation of CSWalternatives so I would further suggest changing the lines in function set_manual_prio to create if necessary. While your at it you may wish to protect the rm from throwing an error if it tries to remove a non-existent check file:
        $DEBUG found match for $1: $check
        if [ ! -d $MANUALDIR ]; then
                mkdir -p $MANUALDIR
        fi
        if [ -e $MANUALDIR/$1 ]; then
                rm -f $MANUALDIR/$1
        fi
        ln -s $check $MANUALDIR/$1

        set_alternative $1

}

Thanks,

Jon

Notes
(0009077) phil (reporter) 2011-05-25 21:22	Hmm. Actually, the path in the copy in the source tree, is MANUALDIR=/etc/opt/csw/alternatives #manual override location This is more correct than MANUALDIR=/etc/opt/csw/etc/alternatives The former, is also what appears in the package that is our current release of alternatives: alternatives-1.1,REV=2010.10.02-SunOS5.9-all-CSW.pkg.gz so, closing this bug as not relevant. But thank you for taking the time to file something.
