Description: Installing, for example, mysql-cluster-gpl-7.0.6-solaris9-sparc-64bit.pkg.gz on a stripped-down Solaris 9 host: /usr/man/man1/comp_err.1 <symbolic link> pkgadd: ERROR: unable to create package object </usr/man/man1/comp_err.1>. pathname does not exist unable to create symbolic link to </opt/mysql/mysql/man/man1/comp_err.1> /usr/man/man1/comp_err.1 [...] This is wrong, I have SUNWman installed which is enough for manual pages to work. I shouldn't have to install some random package like SUNWsfman to get /usr/man/man1 created, the MySQL package should do that. Another minor nit is that we should be creating the symlinks in /usr/share/man/ not /usr/man, they point to the same location but the former is more 'correct'. This problem is also true for /opt/mysql, which needs to be created before our package can be installed - I think the package should create this if required, like other SVR4 packages do. As we use a single packaging script for all our releases this bug is likely (although I haven't checked) to exist across all current releases. How to repeat: pkgadd a mysql .pkg on a Solaris machine with no /usr/share/man/man1 directory.
