Summary:                    Saving of admin file still doesn't work correctly
Description: 
On an update with
  pkgutil -U -u -y
I got after some package updates the error

...
Installation of <CSWpmipcshrlite> was successful.
Removing old version of CSWpmiozlib
pkgrm: ERROR: unable to open admin file </var/opt/csw/pkgutil/admin.run>:
No such file or directory

Removal of <CSWpmiozlib> failed (internal error).

When download is ran as a normal user the admin-file can't be written:

build8st% id
uid=10000(dam) gid=10000(csw)
build8st% pkgutil -t http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing -d perl
Can't open /var/opt/csw/pkgutil/admin.run: Permission denied

Maybe you should write the lockfile to /var/run, additionally, on
downloading there should be no necessity for locking at all.
