Localization Bugs That Occur During Installation

Solaris 9 Beta Refresh Chinese CDE Font Packages Do Not Upgrade to Solaris 9 12/02 Operating Environment (4653908)

If you upgrade to the Solaris 9 12/02 operating environment on a system that runs the Solaris 9 Beta Refresh operating environment with Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese locale support, the upgrade is not completed successfully. The Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese CDE font localization packages (SUNWcdft or SUNWhdft) do not upgrade to the appropriate Solaris 9 12/02 packages. The following error message is displayed.

Upgrading Systems Running Solaris 8 Operating Environment With Full Thai/Russian/Polish/Catalan Support Leaves Invalid Packages on System (4650059)

An upgrade to the Solaris 9 12/02 operating environment on a system that runs the Solaris 8 operating environment with the Solaris 8 Language Supplement CD installed, results in several invalid packages. Thai, Russian, Polish, and Catalan locale packages remain on the system. These locale packages have an ARCH=sparcall value and are not removed during the upgrade to the Solaris 9 12/02 operating environment.

Workaround: Before you upgrade to the Solaris 9 12/02 operating environment, use the Solaris Product Registry application to remove the Solaris 8 Languages Supplement CD packages.
