Summary

0004898: Packages CSWcas- won't install on Solaris 9

Description

Solaris 9 (and probaly Solaris 8) systems missing /bin/pkgcond command will fail to install CSWcas- packages.

In the /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil script the /bin/pkgcond command is used to check if the directory /usr/sadm/install/scripts directory is read only. If the pkgcond command is missing (patch level?) the package installation will fail as the pkgutil logic assumes the directory is not writable and not that the command is missing.

Additional Information
