Summary:                    Postinstall script fails for ca_certificates when
/opt/csw is read-only
Description: 
The postinstall script tries to write to the /opt/csw directory and fails
with an error. It doesn't break anything, it's just a needless error
message.

Interesting thread, I think I will move all my packages to this new
schema.
However it's not a quick task as I will need to test and warn users.

So for now I just uploaded a new ca_certificates packages
(20091101,REV=2009.11.01) which solves this bug with a dirty hack (try to
write in /opt/csw to check if it is writeable, if so don't try to update
certificates list), and in a second time I will do the /etc/opt/csw move
for ca_certificates and all other packages I maintain.
