I'm just starting to experiment with Solaris 10 06/06 zones. Seems, that it
basically works (good :)), however I guess, install does not work correctly.
E.g. I've packages, which are installed in the global zone with '-a none' in
/usr/local and but their default BASEDIR is /usr. pkgparam -v correctly says
BASEDIR='/usr/local'.
But when I try to install a new zone, I get a lot of warnings like: attribute
verification of </zones/flexlm/root/usr/bin/gsed> failed pathname does not
exist ...
BTW: /usr/local is a separate ufs, which is not inherited to the zone. Might
this be the cause, that in this case zone install simply assumes /usr as
BASEDIR for the zone ? If so, bug or feature?
IMHO zone install should avoid installing any packages whomes BASEDIR points to
a directory, which gets not inherited ....

Not an answer, but some points:
* In general non-Solaris software should not be installed in /usr. In the past it
has not mattered that much. Now it matters. If the software absolutely must be
installed in /usr/local, using LOFS to mount a writable global-zone directory into
the non-global zone's /usr/local usually solves the problem.
* What happens if the pkg is installed in /opt instead, with an inherit-pkg-dir in
the zone? Do you still get those warnings/error messages?
