Installation of SUNWxilrl Partially Fails on Upgrade (4276484)

If SUNWxilrl is installed on a system being upgraded to the Solaris 7 11/99 operating environment and the /opt directory is on a file system that is being resized or moved during the upgrade, you will see the following error messages:

ERROR: attribute verification of </a/opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib/libxil.so> failed
    pathname does not exist
    unable to create symbolic link to </usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1>
ERROR: attribute verification of </a/opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib/libxil.so.1> 
failed
    pathname does not exist
    unable to create symbolic link to </usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1>
pkgadd: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully

Installation of <SUNWxilrl> partially failed.
pkgadd return code = 2

This partial failure results in the following:

• The /opt/SUNWits/Graphics_sw/xil and /opt/SUNWits/Graphics_sw/xil/lib directories are not recreated.

• The /opt/SUNWits/Graphics_sw/xil/lib/libxil.so and /opt/SUNWits/Graphics_sw/xil/lib/libxil.so.1 symbolic links to /usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1 are not created.

Workaround: Recreate the directories and symlinks after the upgrade has completed.

1. Complete the upgrade.

2. Reboot the upgraded system.

3. Recreate the xil/lib directory:

   # /usr/sbin/install -d -m 0755 -u bin -g bin /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil # /usr/sbin/install -d -m 0755 -u bin -g bin /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib

4. Recreate the symbolic links:

   # ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1 /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib/libxil.so # ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1 /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib/libxil.so.1
