This is a Live upgrade case when we are on the alternate root. The
alternate root has the O/S installed and we try to upgrade some of our
packages. Please note that this is all happening in the alternate root.
We attempt to do a pkgadd -d <dir> -R <altroot> <pkgname>. The
package/postinstall inturn does a zonename first. Since we are in the
alternate root, the command thats run is <altroot>/usr/bin/zonename
which is when it fails.
Here's a code snippet :
ZONECMD=${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/bin/zonename
IS_NONGLOBAL=0
# detect whether we are running in a global or non-global zone
if [ "${SUNW_PKG_INSTALL_ZONENAME}" = "" ] ; then
if [ -x ${ZONECMD} ]; then
<==========================FAILS HERE since the command thats run is
</altroot>/usr/bin/zonename
if [ "`${ZONECMD}`" != "global" ]; then
IS_NONGLOBAL=1
fi
fi
else
if [ "${SUNW_PKG_INSTALL_ZONENAME}" != "global" ] ; then
IS_NONGLOBAL=1
fi
fi
# If installing into a non-global zone, simply exit
if [ ${IS_NONGLOBAL} -eq 1 ] ; then
exit 0
fi
