Error Messages Displayed by pkgchk After You Remove Patches for Zones (6267966)

The patchadd and patchrm commands work improperly in non-global zones with inherited file systems. Consequently, in those zones, the pkgchk command might generate error messages about packages under the following circumstances:

1. In the global zone, you apply patches for the Solaris 10 zone system by using the patchadd command.

2. You use the patchrm command to remove patches that you just recently applied.

3. In a non-global zone with inherited file systems, you check with the pkgchk command for information about a package in any of the removed patches.

The following sample message is displayed when the pkgchk command is used on SUNWcsu under the circumstances previously listed.

# pkgchk SUNWcsu
