Hi, I just found an ugly inconsistency in the web database: If you look at the dependencies of the Hobbit package at http://www.opencsw.org/packages/hobbit/ you see four dependencies: chkconfig A system tool for maintaining the /etc/rcX.d hierarchy. common Installs some useful standard CSW filesystem symlinks and files fping fping is a ping(1) like program accepting any number of hosts on the command line and producing outp pcre Perl-compatible regular expression tools
When you disassemble the package you see some more: dam@login [login]:/home/dam/tmp/CSWhobbit/install > more depend P CSWcommon common - common files and dirs for CSW packages P CSWrrd rrdtool - Round Robin Database graphing tool P CSWfping fping - ping(1) replacement, optimised for scripting. P CSWoldaprt openldap_rt - OpenLDAP runtime libraries P CSWpng png - library for Portable Network Graphics format (PNG) P CSWpcre pcre - Perl-compatible regular expression library P CSWossl openssl - The Open Source toolkit for SSL and TLS. P CSWchkconfig chkconfig - Tool for maintaining the /etc/rcX.d hierarchy. P SUNWcsu Core Solaris, (Usr) P SUNWcsl Core Solaris, (Shared Libs) While the SUNW deps can be safely ignored by the package database the missing deps to the other packages is really bad: these are obsoleted packages transformed to _stub which are no longer in the package database. I think either the display needs to be adjusted to view by what it has been obsoleted or the stub packages need to be re-added to the database. Thoughts?
