The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes up to and including snv_132 for
both the x86/x64 and SPARC platforms.
Before updating a system, please review the "New issues" and "Existing
issues" sections of this document for all of the known issues that may
affect the update.
The development builds have undergone limited testing and users should
expect to uncover issues as the next release is developed. Bug reports
and requests for enhancement are welcome through
http://defect.opensolaris.org/
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so by setting their preferred publisher to the above URL and using the
"image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the
"Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI.
New issues in this repository update or in updating to it
=========================================================
14354 cacao 2.2.3.0 SMF common-agent-container-1 service fails to start on
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14354
When booting build 132, a smf(5) service of the form
"application/management/common-agent-container-1" may end up in
the maintenance state.
Work-around: None at this time.
Existing issues in this repository update or in updating to it
==============================================================
6914346 upgrade from OpenSolaris 2009.06 (111b2) to 130 fails with stale
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6914346
After updating to build 130 or beyond, the system may panic
with messages of the form
/kernel/misc/amd64/pci_autoconfig:
undefined symbol 'pcie_get_rc_dip'
WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'pci_autoconfig'
panic[cpu0]/thread=fffffffffbc2e3a0:
failed to load misc/pci_autoconfig
Work-around: Boot the original boot environment (BE) instead
and correct the boot archive as follows
<reboot into the earlier BE>
user at host$ pfexec beadm mount <name of new BE> /mnt
user at host$ pfexec bootadm update-archive -F -R /mnt
user at host$ pfexec beadm unmount <name of new BE>
At this point, the new BE can be booted into.
13534 "Could not update ICEauthority file /.ICEauthority" on bootup of build 130
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13534
After the system boots, the following warning dialog boxes may
be displayed
Could not update ICEauthority file /.ICEauthority
There is a problem with the configuration server
(/usr/lib/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
Work-around: Clicking on the "Close" button for each dialog box
will permit one to login normally. Once logged in, enter the
following command to correct the home directory for the "gdm"
user
user at host$ pfexec usermod -d /var/lib/gdm gdm
13233 /contrib packages should not depend on "entire"
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13233
If packages from the "/contrib" repository have been installed
on the system, attempts to update the system may cause the
following error to occur
pkg: Requested "install" operation would affect files that
cannot be modified in live image.
Please retry this operation on an alternate boot environment.
Work-around: Uninstall the packages from "/contrib" which are
causing the issue. The list can be found through the following
command
user at host$ pkg contents -Ho pkg.name,action.raw -t depend | \
grep fmri=entire@ | cut -f1
Once these packages have been uninstalled, repeat the packaging
update.
13982 desktop performance issues with build 131
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13982
Repainting of desktop windows or typing into input fields may
be slow to respond to user input.
Work-around: Remove the X Server's "AT_SPI_IOR" property from
X's root window.
user at host$ xprop -root -remove AT_SPI_IOR
11523 only permit FMRIs from same publisher for network repositories
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11523
When performing certain packaging operations, errors of the
following form may be displayed
pkg: The following pattern(s) did not match any
packages in the current catalog. Try relaxing the
pattern, refreshing and/or examining the catalogs:
or
The catalog retrieved for publisher '<some name>' only
contains package data for these publisher(s):
opensolaris.org. To resolve this issue, update this
publisher to use the correct repository origin, or add
one of the listed publishers using this publisher's
repository origin.
These both reflect that the name of publisher has been
incorrectly set to a value other than "opensolaris.org". When
using http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ as an origin URI, the
name of the publisher must be "opensolaris.org" and there
should be no other publishers with that name.
In addition, specifying a publisher for both the
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ and
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ origin URIs is an error as
only one of them should be in use at a time, using a publisher
of "opensolaris.org".
Work-around: If there is a publisher "publisher name" defined
for the http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ origin URI, remove
this first
user at host$ pfexec pkg unset-publisher <publisher name>
Then reset the publisher back to the correct value
user at host$ pfexec pkg set-publisher \
-O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ opensolaris.org
8347 Move boot archive from /boot/x86.microroot to /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=8347
Automated Installer servers must themselves be updated to at
least build 128a in order to serve build 128a or greater
images. In addition, systems running the Distribution
Constructor should also be updated in order to build images
based on build 128a or greater.
11051 default ai 121 dev ai build should point to /dev
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11051
When using the Automated Installer (AI) to install development
builds over the network, the manifest used for the install
service should be updated to reflect that packages should be
installed from the development repository.
First copy the default manifest from your install image.
Assuming the name of the create AI service is <svc_name>, then
AI<svc_name> represents the name of the smf(5) property group
that contains the path to the image
user at host$ image_path=`svcprop -c -p AI<svc_name>/image_path`
Next copy the default.xml file from that image and change the
"main url" attribute of the "ai_pkg_repo_default_publisher"
element from "http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release"; to
"http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev";
user at host$ cp ${image_path}/auto_install/default.xml /tmp
user at host$ <edit /tmp/default.xml as described>
Finally associate the modified manifest with the install
service
user at host$ pfexec installadm add -m /tmp/default.xml \
-n <svc_name>
Note that users of the "bootable" AI CD and USB ISO should make
a similar change to the custom manifest that can specified as
part of its installation procedure.
12380 image-update loses /dev/ptmx from /etc/minor_perm
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12380
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update to
build 125 or greater, remote access to the system via ssh(1) or
rlogin(1) may become unavailable. Alternatively, using
terminal programs such as gnome-terminal(1) or xterm(1) may
result in characters not being echoed or commands unable to be
typed.
Work-around: Boot the original boot environment (BE) instead
and correct the /etc/minor_perm file contained within as
follows
<reboot into the earlier BE>
user at host$ pfexec beadm mount <name of new BE> /mnt
user at host$ pfexec sh -c \
"grep ^clone: /etc/minor_perm >> /mnt/etc/minor_perm"
user at host$ pfexec touch /mnt/reconfigure
user at host$ pfexec bootadm update-archive -R /mnt
user at host$ pfexec beadm unmount <name of new BE>
At this point, the new BE can be booted into.
10630 driver action gets confused by driver_aliases entries not covered by an
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10630
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update to
build 121 or later, messages of the following form may be
displayed
The 'pcieb' driver shares the alias 'pciexclass,060400'
with the 'pcie_pci' driver, but the system cannot
determine how the latter was delivered. Its entry on
line 2 in /etc/driver_aliases has been commented out.
If this driver is no longer needed, it may be removed
by booting into the 'opensolaris-2' boot environment
and invoking 'rem_drv pcie_pci' as well as removing
line 2 from /etc/driver_aliases or, before rebooting,
mounting the 'opensolaris-2' boot environment and
running 'rem_drv -b <mount point> pcie_pci' and
removing line 2 from <mount point>/etc/driver_aliases.
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
6877673 add_drv fails with a permissions entry with a minor name including a
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6877673
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update,
messages of the following form may be displayed
driver (clone) upgrade (removal of minor perm
'vnic 0666 root sys') failed with return code 252
command run was: /usr/sbin/update_drv -b /tmp/tmp65jZ-x -d
-m vnic 0666 root sys clone
command output was:

or
driver (asy) upgrade (addition of minor perm
'*,cu 0600 uucp uucp') failed with return code 255
command run was: /usr/sbin/update_drv -b /tmp/tmp65jZ-x -a
-m *,cu 0600 uucp uucp asy
command output was:
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
9568 image-update produces driver removal of policy warnings
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9568
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update from
builds prior to 123, warnings of the following form may be
displayed during a packaging update
driver (ibd) upgrade (removal of
policy'read_priv_set=net_rawaccess write_priv_set=net_rawaccess)
failed: minor node spec required.
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
10778 image-update to snv_120 produces warnings about etc/sma/snmp/mibs
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10778
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update to
build 120 or later, a message of the following form may be
displayed
Warning - directory etc/sma/snmp/mibs not empty - contents
preserved in
/tmp/<path>/var/pkg/lost+found/etc/sma/snmp/mibs-<time stamp>
Work-around: This message can be ignored.
11602 Failures seen after rebooting from a image-update from 2009.06 to snv_124
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11602
When booting the system the first time after updating to build
124, messages of the following form may be displayed
inetd[5503]: Failed to update state of instance
svc:/application/x11/xfs:default in repository: entity not found
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
10010 reconfigure transport timeouts
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10010
When installing packages on or updating from builds 118 or 121,
the operation may fail with messages of the form
1: Framework error: code: 28
reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds
with <some number> out of <some other number> bytes received
Work-around: Set the environment variable PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT to
15 minutes (900 seconds) or more, depending on the throughput
to the repository and the size of the files in the package in
question
user at host$ PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=900
user at host$ export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT
user at host$ pfexec pkg install <name of packages>
