Summary:                    pkg-get says dependencies are not up to date when
they really are
Description: 
I've noticed the current version of pkg-get (4.2) is failing to install
packages because it thinks dependencies are out of date.

Example:

 pkg-get -i gvim
No existing install of CSWgvim found. Installing...
Pre-existing local file
gvim-7.2.077,REV=2008.12.31-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz ma
tches checksum
Keeping existing file

Trying to install dependancy vimrt
No existing install of CSWvimrt found. Installing...
Pre-existing local file
vimrt-7.2.077,REV=2008.12.31-SunOS5.8-all-CSW.pkg.gz mat
ches checksum
Keeping existing file
Analysing special files...
Error: dependancy common (CSWcommon) not up to date
Call pkg-get again in 'upgrade all' mode
eg: '/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get upgrade'
This will then upgrade all packages cleanly

ERROR: could not install required dependancies for CSWvimrt
Once dependancies are up to date, call
        /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i vimrt
to (re)install
ERROR: install of CSWvimrt failed
ERROR: could not install required dependancies for CSWgvim
Once dependancies are up to date, call
        /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i gvim
to (re)install


This claims the common pacakge is out of date.  However, the latest
version is installed:
pkginfo -l CSWcommon
   PKGINST:  CSWcommon
      NAME:  common - common files and dirs for CSW packages
  CATEGORY:  system
      ARCH:  sparc
   VERSION:  1.4.6,REV=2008.04.28

                   6 blocks used (approx)

pkg-get -c | grep -w common
         common            1.4.6,REV=2008.04.28                          
SAME


I had a look through the source for pkg-get and think I have found the
problem.
Line 1084:
		if ! uptodate $dependsoftname; then

should probably be:
		if ! uptodate $dependspkg; then

It should use the Solaris package name "CSWcommon", rather than the
OpenCSW package name "commmon".

Thank you for taking the time to look at the script and attempt to debug
it.
however, the line you point out,

                if ! uptodate $dependsoftname; then

references a function (uptodate) that should function equally well when
given either the dependsoftname OR the dependpkg value.

if you can pinpoint an error in the routine, please let me know.
Also, it has been reported that having LC_ALL=C is sometimes beneficial,
whereas LC_ALL or equivalent being set to some UTF-8 or fancy value, makes
it break.

You might try tweaking 'AWK=nawk to 'AWK="LC_ALL=C nawk"'
and seeing if that fixes the problem.

otherwise, you might double check to see which 'catalog' it is pulling
from, and then manually compare the VERSION values from the catalog, vs 
pkginfo -l CSWcommon.

Phil,

thanks for getting back to me.

It does.  It seems this was the real problem and my fix just worked around
it.
I had LC_ALL set to "en_GB" which caused the prblem.  It works fine when
set to "C".

Can this change be added as a permanent fix?

Thanks again both for you help and for the all your good work with
OpenCSW.
