You have to consider that to be truly clean, a package must be a pure relocatable package. What does that mean? For example, it means that ISA one is installing from is not the same as the target ISA. Consider the scenario where the AutoClient or Diskless client server is a 32-bit i86pc Solaris system, and the target system the package is being installed on is a 64-bit sparc system: you perform pkgadd -R/export/client7879/ ABCDblabla which says to install the package ABCDblabla under a different root (/export/client7879/) `isainfo -k` will return "i386" in the "postinstall" phase, but the target system is a 64-bit sparc platform system. The whole thing will "fall on the nose" and create a wrong directory structure, /export/client7879/opt/abcd/lib/64 -> amd64 instead of /export/client7879/opt/abcd/lib/64 -> sparcv9, which would have been the correct thing to do. There must be another way. That's why I wrote earlier: creating clean and correct packages is an art. There are so many factors to consider.
