Solaris 8 (Intel Platform Edition) 6/00 Release Notes Update

Obsolete Files in SUNWpmi and SUNWxwpls Are Not Removed When Upgrading From the Solaris 7 11/99 Operating Environment to the Solaris 8 Operating Environment (4313654)

When upgrading to the Solaris 8 operating environment, obsolete files in SUNWpmi or SUNWxwpls may not be removed. In addition, the permissions for the /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file are different in the Solaris 8 operating environment than in past Solaris releases.

The presence of these obsolete files and the difference in file permissions for OWconfig do not cause problems on your upgraded system.

Workaround: Ignore the error messages that list obsolete SUNWpmi or SUNWxpls files that were not removed during the upgrade. Ignore the error messages indicating that the file permissions of /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig are different from what was expected.
