I think $SUBJECT really deserves some thoughts, soon. it appears with OSOL &
IPS we're now
in the same dependency hell that I always hated when dealing with the various
Linux distros.
prime example, try removing the SUNWevolution* stuff using the package manager.
It just does not work, fails while evaluating SUNWevolution-data-server with
the error:
Error:
Cannot remove:
SUNWevolution-data-server
Due to following packages that depend on it:
SUNWgnome-python-desktop
SUNWgnome-desktop-prefs
SUNWgnome-im-client
SUNWgnome-utility-applets
SUNWgnome-media-player
SUNWgnome-panel.
I know for a fact of life:
1) that I do not need and want Evolution on the system (btw, does anyone use
this at all ?)
2) none of the packages listed above will be harmed by removing that stuff
(proven by
pkgrm'ing them on a non-IPS ONNV and Solaris 10 system
are there any plans to come up with a way to deal with such situations ?
thanks
