Summary:                    pkgmap missing man page directory creation
Description: 
The pkgmap for ncurses-5.7,REV=2009.01.12-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW is missing the
following directories:

/opt/csw/share/man/man1
/opt/csw/share/man/man3
/opt/csw/share/man/man5
/opt/csw/share/man/man7

The problem is that if the directory does not exist, the required
directory is made, but it ends up having the wrong owner/group/permissions.
 (Do an fresh install and notice the "<implied directory>" output during
the pkgadd.)

So, if a package later on tries to add files into, say, man5 and that
package has /opt/csw/share/man/man5 in its pkgmap with what I believe to be
normal "0755 root bin" permissions, you get the following:

The following files are already installed on the system and are being
used by another package:
* /opt/csw/share/man/man5 <attribute change only>

which requires a y,n response.

The error that I mention does not actually come from the the syslog_ng
package, but rather from CSWtcpwrap with is being installed to fulfill a
dependency for syslog_ng.
