Summary:                    Symlinks pointing to non-existing files
Description: 
Looks like the subversion package contains symlinks to non-existing files:

maciej at build8s [build8s]:~ > ls -l /opt/csw/lib/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other        116 Dec 19 01:18
/opt/csw/lib/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so ->
/home/rupert/mgar/pkg/subversion/trunk/work/solaris8-sparc/install-isa-sparcv8/opt/csw/lib/libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0

maciej at build8s [build8s]:~ > pkgchk -l -p /opt/csw/lib/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so
Pathname: /opt/csw/lib/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so
Type: symbolic link
Source of link:
/home/rupert/mgar/pkg/subversion/trunk/work/solaris8-sparc/install-isa-sparcv8/opt/csw/lib/libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0
Referenced by the following packages:
        CSWsvn         
Current status: installed

I expected to find the problem in this target:

fix-ra_dav:
	@# libsvn_ra_dav-1* has been renamed to libsvn_ra_neon-1* 
	@# in the new versions of subversion, 
	@# we need to link for backward compatability
	@(gln -s libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0
$(DESTDIR)$(SVNLIB)/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so.0)
	@(gln -s libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0
$(DESTDIR)$(SVNLIB)/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so)
	@$(MAKECOOKIE)

...but it looks good to me. The fact remains, in both sparc and x86
packages, the symlink points to a non-existing file:

vsol01 ~ # grep neon /var/sadm/pkg/CSWsvn/save/pspool/CSWsvn/pkgmap 
1 s none
/opt/csw/lib/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so=/home/rupert/mgar/pkg/subversion/trunk/work/solaris8-i386/install-isa-i386/opt/csw/lib/libsvn_ra_neon-1.so.0.0.0
