We decided not to include it. The use of sprintf(3) as a replacement for snprintf(3) has a high potential to cause buffer overflows, leading to program crashes and opening security issues. The price to support this outdated Solaris v2.5.1 is too high. Nevertheless, the patch basically works and i hope it will help you and probably others to use OpenPKG on affected platforms.
