I think that adding a depend file should work
P SUNWcsr Core Solaris, (Root)
so create a file called depend in audit4u-agents/install and add the
line above, this shoudl force the package to install after SUNWcsr has
installed. As SUNWcsr delivers both passwd and shadow file
I'm adding some zones people as the chroot bit is not something I have
seen done in a package script before.
