Summary:                    Package contains file to be installed in /usr -
doesn't work in a sparse zone
Description: 
I am trying to install Apache 2 in a sparse Solaris 10 zone, with /usr
being an inherited-pkg-dir, thus read-only. Apache depends on
CSWcswclassutils (or a dependency of Apache depends on...), thus it is
impossible to install it in a sparse zone.

Making this package only install stuff in /etc, /var, and /opt/csw would
be very appreciated.

Your "crappy workaround" is the real solution, that's how Sun designed
class action scripts, they are always in /usr/sadm/install/scripts.

Why is that a problem? Install once globally and run in all zones.

It's noted in the wiki: "Also note that class action scripts are installed
in /usr/sadm/install/scripts so if you run a sparse zone you need to
install cswclassutils from the global zone."
