There is no amd64 support for Solaris 9 AFAIK.
Correct. But at some time in the past when we only packaged for Solaris 9 the packages for i386 contained also 64 bit amd64 binaries built on Solaris 10 and packaged up in a combined package marked for Solaris 9. The amd64 part would be ignored and only used when installed on Solaris 10. This was already in place when I joined Blastwave in 2007. When building for Solaris 9 and also for Solaris 10 this is of course pointless :-) Best regards — Dago
