Description:
When one installs Solaris package by command `pkgadd -d mysql-enterprise-gpl-5.0.34-solaris10-x86_64.pkg` postinstall fails with error "/var/sadm/pkg/mysql/install/postinstall: test: argument expected
pkgadd: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully

Installation of <mysql> failed."

It happens, because Solaris test doesn't support -e option if $SHELL is sh

How to repeat:
See description

Suggested fix:
Replace [ -e /usr/local ] with [ -d /usr/local ]

The offending -e was only present between January 1st and February 10th inclusive. Solaris packages built before this year or after February 10th this year are unaffected.
