While running the unit test cases for the gate on an OpenSolaris 2009.06
system recently, the system image, with meta data in /var/pkg was
updated to the new meta data format, such that my pkg(5) tools in
/usr/bin could no longer operate on the image. I'm guessing that
somewhere in the unit test suite, there is a pkg(1) command executed
without a -R option. I reproduced this on a VMware image just to make
sure.
Is this a known problem? I looked through the list of open bugs but
didn't find one for this. I haven't started to look for what test is
actually doing this; I thought I would ask first if someone knows where
this is.
Is it correct to expect that the unit tests would never operate on the
system image?
Thanks.
Tom
