If you install on your system any two, or all three of the following documentation media, and then attempt to uninstall any one of these CDs, the uninstaller summary panel reports a Failed status:
Solaris 9 12/03 Documentation 1 of 2 CD
Solaris 9 12/03 Documentation 2 of 2 CD
Solaris 9 on Sun Hardware documentation set on the Solaris 9 12/03 Software Supplement CD
This problem occurs because all three CDs contain packages that are dependent on the SUNWsdocs package.
The CD that you attempt to uninstall will remain registered. However, a Damaged status is displayed in the product registry. The uninstaller will interpret this status as a failure.
The documentation set is then skipped during the uninstall process, even though the associated packages have been removed from the system.
Workaround: Follow these steps to correct the problem:
Uninstall the remaining Solaris 9 12/03 documentation CDs.
Unregister the Solaris 9 12/03 documentation CD that was not uninstalled properly.
Reinstall the Solaris 9 12/03 documentation media, if necessary.
