If you upgrade to the Solaris 9 9/02 operating environment on a system running the Solaris 9 Beta Refresh operating environment with Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese locale support, the upgrade does not complete successfully. The Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese CDE font localization packages (SUNWcdft or SUNWhdft) do not upgrade to the appropriate Solaris 9 9/02 packages. The following error message is displayed.
Removing package SUNWcdft: /a/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcdft/install/postremove: /a/usr/dt/config/xfonts/zh_CN.EUC: does not exist /a/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcdft/install/postremove: /a/usr/dt/config/xfonts/zh_CN.GBK: does not exist /a/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcdft/install/postremove: /a/usr/dt/config/xfonts/zh_CN.UTF-8: does not exist pkgrm: ERROR: postremove script did not complete successfully |
Workaround: Before you upgrade to the Solaris 9 9/02 operating environment, remove the appropriate Solaris 9 Beta Refresh postremove files.
# rm /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcdft/install/postremove # rm /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWhdft/install/postremove |
If you upgrade to the Solaris 9 9/02 operating environment on a system running the Solaris 8 operating environment with the Solaris 8 Language Supplement CD installed, several invalid 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 9/02 operating environment.
Workaround: Before you upgrade to the Solaris 9 9/02 operating environment, use the Solaris Product Registry application to remove the Solaris 8 Languages Supplement CD packages.
