The pkgadd(1M) man page says to use the -R option of the pkgadd utility to relocate a package. Using this option when installing the AnswerBook2 server software gives unexpected results.
The workaround for installing the AnswerBook2 server software in a location other than the default is to use the following format of the pkgadd command:
# pkgadd -a none -d . SUNWab2u |
Do not relocate the SUNWab2r and SUNWab2s packages.
